Half border for html table - html

Question

I have a table in my web page that I want to only have half borders.
Example:
The table that I have:
A | B | C
| |
A | B | C
| |
A | B | C
Note:
td { padding-bottom: 5%; }
td#B { border-left: 1px solid black; border-right: 1px solid black}
/* Assuming alphabets A , B and C are ids of each td */
The table that I want:
A | B | C
A | B | C
A | B | C
How can I achieve this?
I am using angularjs' ng-repeat to display the data from a json database for the table.

Answer 1

You can either use an extra border on tr or border-spacing .
The difference can be seen while a border or background is applied to table :
table {
/* demo purpose mainly */
float:left;
margin:1em;
background:lightgray;
box-shadow: 0 0 0 2px green;;
}
.bdtr {
border-collapse:collapse;
}
td {padding:0 1em;}
td + td {
border-left:1px solid;
}
.bdtr tr + tr{
border-top:1em lightgray solid; /* use background-color */
}
.bdtd {
border-spacing:0 1em;
margin:0 1em;
}
<table class="bdtr">
<caption>border on tr</caption>
<tr>
<td>A</td><td>B</td><td>C</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>A</td><td>B</td><td>C</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>A</td><td>B</td><td>C</td>
</tr>
</table>
<table class="bdtd">
<caption> border-spacing</caption>
<tr>
<td>A</td><td>B</td><td>C</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>A</td><td>B</td><td>C</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>A</td><td>B</td><td>C</td>
</tr>
</table>
Also, you can use transparent border and shadow to allow a non plain background on table or behind it :
.bdtr {
border-collapse: collapse;
}
td {
padding: 0 1em;
}
.bdtr.bis {
background: linear-gradient(60deg, gray, yellow, purple, pink, lime);
}
.bdtr.bis tr+tr {
border-top: 1em transparent solid;
}
.bdtr.bis tr td+td {
border: none;/* reset from previous demo */
box-shadow: inset 2px 0;
}
<table class="bdtr bis">
<tr>
<td>A</td>
<td>B</td>
<td>C</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>A</td>
<td>B</td>
<td>C</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>A</td>
<td>B</td>
<td>C</td>
</tr>
</table>

Answer 2

A small table property can do the trick . Use this css in your table css:
table {
border-collapse: separate;
border-spacing: 0 2em;
}
Working snippet:
table {
border-collapse: separate;
border-spacing: 0 2em;
}
td {
border-right: 1px solid #000;
padding: 0 10px;
}
tr td:last-child {
border-right: 0px solid #000;
}
<table>
<tr>
<td>A</td>
<td>B</td>
<td>C</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>A</td>
<td>B</td>
<td>C</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>A</td>
<td>B</td>
<td>C</td>
</tr>
</table>

Answer 3

Instead of applying the style to the td try to apply it to the tr
And remove the padding on the td
tr {
margin: 10px 0;
display: block;
}
