How to add border style to the table for an html content fetched from an SP in sql server?

Without setting border style it works fine. But I want to set so from the back end.

What I have tried:

The HTML code I tried in SQL is as below:

SQL

SET @HTMLCode = '<HTML>'        
SET @HTMLCode = @HTMLCode + '<table style="border:1">'
SET @HTMLCode = @HTMLCode + '  <tr>'
SET @HTMLCode = @HTMLCode + '    <th>' + 'Sl No:'  + '</th>'
SET @HTMLCode = @HTMLCode + '    <th>' + 'Pending Count'  + '</th>'
SET @HTMLCode = @HTMLCode + '    <th>' + 'Received Date'  + '</th>'
SET @HTMLCode = @HTMLCode + '  </tr>'
SET @HTMLCode = @HTMLCode + '  </table>'

But above code is not working.

1. Returning HTML from SQL is a bad idea, but if you have to, I understand.
2. Where are you stuck? Just add border.

I've fixed your code formatting - the HTML tags weren't visible.

Your style declaration is incorrect. You're missing a unit on the border width. You also need to specify the border style, and optionally the border colour as well.

Try using the correct CSS syntax for the border:

HTML

<table style="border:1px solid black;">

CSS border property | W3Schools[^]

Or just setting the older "border" attribute:
