hehehehe, I just recently figured this one out!!

Netscape will accept a background color, so where you want the *border,* 
create a tiny cell, stretch it along the rows, give it its own class where 
the color is white.

Then, use a 1x1 transparent gif to actually put in the cell. From what I 
can tell, this is the most efficient way to do it. Some folks get around it 
with nested tables in NN, but that could get a little messy and slow in NN.
