New Attributes for Tables
in Internet Explorer 2.0

Tables are built by using the tags TABLE, TD, TR, and TH. Prior to Microsoft Internet Explorer version 2.0, the BORDER attribute of the TABLE tag was the key to properly utilizing a table on your page. If you include the BORDER attribute, a 3-D shaded border is drawn around the table and all of the cells in the table:
TableWith A
Border
Or, you can leave the BORDER attribute out and the table edges won't be visible, which allows the table to be used for page layout (note that while the text below is "centered" on the page, all lines of the text are left-aligned):
TableWith No
Border
New in Internet Explorer version 2.0 are several additional attributes for the TABLE tag and its related constructor tags. Most notable are the attributes that relate to color: BGCOLOR, BORDERCOLOR, BORDERCOLORLIGHT, and BORDERCOLORDARK. For all of these attributes, you can supply a color value that is either a hexidecimal RGB color (in the format "#rrggbb", as in "#FF9900", which results in an orange color), or as a named color from one of the 16 different color names that IE supports.

As you can see, the color attributes of tables can provide some interesting effects. On the next page you can see some more examples.
