Placement Properties
Comments: Only IE 4.0 will support border styles with tables. If a border is put around a table such as:
table {border: thick double red}
The result will have a double thick red border around the table, plus another one on top of that. The table cell only copies the width and style properties of the table property, but not the color. The same thing happens when we specify a property for indivdual rows. However, by using individual properties for any table data is a good work around. Try this:
td.a {border: thin double red}
This creates a nice double red border around any particular cell with class=a. Remember, though, this work around only works in IE4.0.
border-width Sets the width of the element's border.

**NOTE: for some reason, the straight border-width tag does not produce a border in IE4.0. Other combinations of tags do, though.
