How can I have a rounded border on my table and border-collapse: collapse? [duplicate]

Question

I have the following:

<TABLE style="border-radius: 5px; border: 1px solid #999; xborder-collapse: collapse;">
  <THEAD>
    <TR style="background-color: red;">
      <TH>Weekday</TH>
      <TH>Date</TH>
      <TH>Manager</TH>
      <TH>Qty</TH>
    </TR>
  </THEAD>
  <TBODY>
    <TR>
      <TD>Mon</TD>
      <TD>09/11</TD>
      <TD>Kelsey</TD>
      <TD>639</TD>
    </TR>
    <TR>
      <TD>Tue</TD>
      <TD>09/12</TD>
      <TD>Lindsey</TD>
      <TD>596</TD>
    </TR>
    <TR>
      <TD>Sun</TD>
      <TD>09/17</TD>
      <TD>Susan</TD>
      <TD>272</TD>
    </TR>
  </TBODY>
</TABLE>

Example

I would like to have rounded borders, no space between cells also have the top header area of my table a different color. But it doesn't seem to work.

I created this fiddle. When I comment out border-collapse I get the rounded edges but spaces between cells. When it's in I get no border radius and no space between cells.

Answer 1

Adding border-spacing:0 instead of border-collapse:collapse on your table tag fixes it:

Answer 2

Here's an example using a wrapper div :

<div style="display: table;
            padding: 2px;
            border-radius: 5px;
            border: 1px solid #999;">
  <TABLE style="border-collapse: collapse;">
    <THEAD>
      <TR style="background-color: red;">
        <TH>Weekday</TH>
        <TH>Date</TH>
        <TH>Manager</TH>
        <TH>Qty</TH>
      </TR>
    </THEAD>
    <TBODY>
      <TR>
        <TD>Mon</TD>
        <TD>09/11</TD>
        <TD>Kelsey</TD>
        <TD>639</TD>
      </TR>
      <TR>
        <TD>Tue</TD>
        <TD>09/12</TD>
        <TD>Lindsey</TD>
        <TD>596</TD>
      </TR>
      <TR>
        <TD>Sun</TD>
        <TD>09/17</TD>
        <TD>Susan</TD>
        <TD>272</TD>
      </TR>
    </TBODY>
  </TABLE>
</div>

You can see it working here: jsFiddle

Note: display:table; is not supported in IE7 and earlier. IE8 requires a: !DOCTYPE in the document. All modern browsers (including IE9) support it though, so it shouldn't be a problem.
