Answer 1

+2 A:

Via css. Put this inside the <head> tag.

<style type="text/css" media="screen">

table{
border-collapse:collapse;
border:1px solid #FF0000;
}

table td{
border:1px solid #FF0000;
}
</style>

Use <style type="text/css"> instead.

the border-collapse on tds is superfluous (and in fact not standard).

true, i stand corrected.

one more question - how do I make the vertical lines solid, and the horizontal lines dashed?

Answer 2

A:

<table border="1"></table>

should do the trick.

Should work, but it's better to separate content and design (content in html, design in css, where border is design.

Agreed, but sometimes it's ok to bend the rules a little too :)
