uron,
you might want to check nimags solution first.
It is a IE solution only, and does not work with netscape, the same problem as was with edemcs solution.
dreamaster was the first to answer and the only one who have given you a solution that (1) follows html standard and (2) works crossbrowser at the same time.
I think your'e all set :)

uron good you got it all worked out :)
This is almost teh same as in the first comment you got. It said (as I interpret it) to put a table outside the table you were talking about. That would give you only the grey border around the table in both browsers, while the one you found in addition will give you bordercolor in between the cells as well :)
