<!DOCTYPE html>
<style>td { border: 10px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); background: cyan }</style>
<table style="border-collapse: collapse">
  <td>A</td><td>B</td>
</table>
<table style="border-collapse: collapse">
  <td>A</td><td style="position: relative; left: 0">B</td>
</table>
<table style="border-collapse: collapse">
  <td>A</td><td style="position: relative; left: 50px">B</td>
</table>
<table style="border-collapse: collapse">
  <tr style="position: relative; left: 50px">
    <td>A</td><td>B</td>
  </tr>
</table>
<table style="border-collapse: collapse">
  <tbody style="position: relative; left: 50px">
    <td>A</td><td>B</td>
  </tbody>
</table>
