  A brick wall with border-collapse alternatives can use JavaScript and HTML in various situations. Here are a few illustrations:   

  • As a game   
  • As a graphic component on a website or web application   
  • As a design feature, you might use a brick wall to create distinct sections of material on your website  
  • To represent data in a visually appealing way, you may use a brick wall as a data visualization  

To create a brick wall with border-collapse alternatives using JavaScript and HTML, one of the solutions we could produce is as follows:  

  • with border-collapse, each row represents a separate table.  
  • border around half of the cells, top borders removed from all cells, and a border added to the top of the top row.  

Each row is treated as a separate table, with only inside-row border-collapse possible. You can only rely on the two borders or the box shadow to prevent interacting with the container.  


Here is an example of how you might implement this:
