Coloring HTML Table Borders On Hover

Question

I would like to have the top and bottom border of a tr to change colour when I hover over it. The problem that I am having is that the tr above the hovering one is overriding the hover styles (at least that is what I think is happening).

In my example here, the first item is hovering correctly, but in the second and third ones only the bottom border is highlighting:

table {
  border-collapse: collapse;
}

th {
  background-color: rgb(231, 231, 231);
}

td {
  border-bottom: 2px solid rgb(214, 214, 214);
  border-top: 2px solid rgb(214, 214, 214);
}

table tr:hover td {
  border-bottom: 2px solid red;
  border-top: 2px solid red;
}

<table>
  <tr>
    <th>COMPANY</th>
    <th>CONTACT</th>
    <th>COUNTRY</th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Alfreds Futterkiste</td>
    <td>Maria Anders</td>
    <td>Germany</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Alfreds Futterkiste</td>
    <td>Maria Anders</td>
    <td>Germany</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Alfreds Futterkiste</td>
    <td>Maria Anders</td>
    <td>Germany</td>
  </tr>
</table>

Answer 1

If you want to keep your 2 px borders, you need to get rid of the collapse and then remove the border-padding. You can then use a sibling selector to change the correct borders on hover.

In the below, I have just added a thead and tbody to your table so that we know only the body elements will change when hovered

table {
 border-spacing:0;
}

th {
  background-color: rgb(231, 231, 231);
}

td {
  border-top: 2px solid rgb(214, 214, 214); /* make all cells have a top border */
}

tbody tr:last-child td {
  border-bottom: 2px solid rgb(214, 214, 214);  /* make the last row also have a bottom border */ 
}

tbody tr:hover td {
  border-color: red;    /* change all borders to red on hover (mainly because of the last child bottom border */
}

tbody tr:hover + tr td {
  border-top-color: red;  /* change any cells without a bottom border - make the next row have top border go red (so it looks like current row bottom border) */
}

<table>
<thead>
  <tr>
    <th>COMPANY</th>
    <th>CONTACT</th>
    <th>COUNTRY</th>
  </tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
  <tr>
    <td>Alfreds Futterkiste</td>
    <td>Maria Anders</td>
    <td>Germany</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Alfreds Futterkiste</td>
    <td>Maria Anders</td>
    <td>Germany</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Alfreds Futterkiste</td>
    <td>Maria Anders</td>
    <td>Germany</td>
  </tr>
</tbody>
</table>
