I am trying to get rid of double borders generated by Div's which are floated in a row. An example of it can be seen here

How can I get rid of the double borders which gets generated by the adjoining div's ?

Here is the css for the page:

.divRows {
	font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-size: 12px;
	color: #0099CC;
	background-color: #CCCCCC;
	margin: 0px;
	padding: 10px;
	border: thin solid #CC0000;
	height: 18px;
	clear: right;
	position: relative;
	float: left;
}

div border-collapse

Hi paCkeTroUTer,
Since the divs are all floated, and you can't be sure which sides meet other divs, I don't think it's possible.

Border-collapse only works on table elements Sad

Collapse Borders ?

You can achieve it if you position each box without floating.
That way you will know which box is next to another.

But then you lose the nice wrapping effect floating gives with window resize.
