Title: Table with thin borders

Did you  ever need  a table with  very thin  borders? Yes, I  think it
happened. But everyone knows that border=1 does define a rather strong
border; so, what to do? Learn from Google!

Surfing the Google web-pages, I've found a very nice small table, with
thin border,  and so I  copied their code.  Below you'll find  a short
example of how to do:

<html>
<body>
<table width="90%"  border="0" align="center" cellpadding="1">
  <tr>
    <td bgcolor="black">
      <table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5">
        <tr>
          <td bgcolor="ffffff">
            Somethings
          </td>
        </tr>
      </table>
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

Simple,  isn't it?  Two  nested tables:  the first  with no  border, a
cellpad of 1 and the only cell  background set to the color to use for
the thin border; the latter table will hold the data and is sized 100%
of  the  space an  no  cell  space. This  way,  you  can  have a  nice
thin-bordered table.

Ok ok,  I've been kidding...  :) This is  the easiest way to  create a
table with thin borders:

  <table style="1px solid #000000;">
    <tr>
      <td>table with thin borders</td>
    </tr>
  </table>
