Hi, everyone.  I have a question.  I am wanting to create a table that
contains several rows and columns.  I want to have a border around the
outside of the table only.

In the past, I've designed one table with a dark background color with a
cellpadding of 1 and the put another table inside of that set to 100% width
with a light (or white) background color to achieve this effect.

I want to do it using CSS however to minimize the code.  I've been playing
around with CSS and have done OK with it (see
http://www.webgraffix.com/bbs/tables_with_frames.php, but I cannot find a
declaration that lets me do what I'm asking, although I am pretty certain it
is possible.

Does anyone know how to do what I am asking?  I know there is a "rules"
attribute with tables that lets you specify which elements you effect with a
specific css declaration, but I am not very good knowing how to use that
yet.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
