first, you might want to make this into a bookmark (i think this is IE-
specific):

javascript:for(i=0;i<document.all.length;i++)if(document.all[i].tagNa
me=='TABLE')void(document.all[i].border=(document.all[i].border=='
0')?'1':'0');

that just turns on table borders for the entire site...or you can 
download the page and add a table border and view it that way...

basically, it's made up of three cells with a spacer .gif and a 
background set to the color of the horizontal stripe...

i use this technique on many sites, like http://thermalsource.com/, 
or the vertical chrome on http://www.valkro.com, which, before you 
make fun of me, is a *very* old site... *very* old... i'm speaking 
about the code, there... it ain't wonderful...
