Painless thin borders on traditional table
Cellspacing will need to be "0"

Eric Meyer pointed it out in a newsgroup

Style the <table>

Style the <td>'s

table.yourclass {
border-top: 1px solid #000000;
border-left: 1px solid #000000; }

table.yourclass td {
border-right: 1px solid #000000;
border-bottom: 1px solid #000000; }
