Here is an article on how to style a table using jQuery UI

UPDATE: Here is something I put together that will style the table:

<script type="text/javascript">

    (function ($) {
        $.fn.styleTable = function (options) {
            var defaults = {
                css: 'styleTable'
            };
            options = $.extend(defaults, options);

            return this.each(function () {

                input = $(this);
                input.addClass(options.css);

                input.find("tr").live('mouseover mouseout', function (event) {
                    if (event.type == 'mouseover') {
                        $(this).children("td").addClass("ui-state-hover");
                    } else {
                        $(this).children("td").removeClass("ui-state-hover");
                    }
                });

                input.find("th").addClass("ui-state-default");
                input.find("td").addClass("ui-widget-content");

                input.find("tr").each(function () {
                    $(this).children("td:not(:first)").addClass("first");
                    $(this).children("th:not(:first)").addClass("first");
                });
            });
        };
    })(jQuery);

    $(document).ready(function () {
        $("#Table1").styleTable();
    });

</script>

<table id="Table1" class="full">
    <tr>
        <th>one</th>
        <th>two</th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>1</td>
        <td>2</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>1</td>
        <td>2</td>
    </tr>
</table>

The CSS:

.styleTable { border-collapse: separate; }
.styleTable TD { font-weight: normal !important; padding: .4em; border-top-width: 0px !important; }
.styleTable TH { text-align: center; padding: .8em .4em; }
.styleTable TD.first, .styleTable TH.first { border-left-width: 0px !important; }
