yup, otherwise you end up with some nasty gaps between ends of lines that
should meet.

the alternative would be to add a border-collapse property to the table
declaration with a value of collapse:

border-collapse: collapse;

doing this we could eliminate the border declarations for the table and do a
composite border declaration for th and td, yet end up with a data grid with
only single pixel borders between cells.

border: 1px solid #000000;

instead of setting border-right and border-bottom to 1px and border-top and
border-left to 0px.

yes, i think we can solve it by using the padding property on the th and td
declarations.

padding: 3px 3px 3px 3px;

thanks,
