rules

Rules (XHTML table model)

See W3C documentation for the XHTML table model.

Defines which rules to draw between the rows and columns of an XHTML table

Remarks

If the @rules attribute has not been used, the presence or absence of rules will be based on the @border attribute. If

<th border="0">

or there is no @border attribute, then no rules are drawn. Otherwise, the value of the @rules attribute is assumed to be “all”. (The related table attribute @frame only concerns rules around the outside of the table.)
