Definition and Usage

The <table> frame attribute is not supported in HTML5. Use CSS instead.

The frame attribute specifies which parts of the outside table borders that should be visible.

Tip: It may be better to NOT specify a frame, and use CSS to apply borders instead.


Browser Support

The numbers in the table specify the first browser version that fully supports the attribute.
