How can I make a nicer border for my html tables

Here some simple css styles I use for a nice table setup:

table: {border-collapse: collapse;border-width: 1px;border-style:outset; }

td: { border-width:1px;padding:2px;border-style:inset; }

Here's a site where you can build your own styles, if you like to experiment:

 To make a border using a <div> tag, you can try something like this:

<div style="width:286px; height:140px;border: 2px #00a651 solid;">

</div>
