To Create a nice border effect within and around a table:

First Table's Attributes:
cellpadding="0"
cellspacing="0"
border="0"
width="n" (% or pixel)
bgcolor="hex" (this will be the border color)
* You only need one cell in the first table. *

Second Table's Attributes:
cellspacing="1" (use larger number for thicker border)
border="0"
width="100%"
Here's the key: Set each td's bgcolor to a different color than the first table.
