No, the <code>bordercolor</code> attribute only exists in Internet Explorer's grand vision of what HTML is supposed to be. The CSS equivalent, on the other hand, works on just about every browser.

For a single 1-pixel red border around the outside of a table, you'd use

Code: Select all

<style type="text/css">
table { border: 1px solid red; }
</style>

or

Code: Select all

<table style="border:1px solid red;">

For the same border, but around each individual cell, you'd use

Code: Select all

<style type="text/css">
table { border-collapse: collapse; }
td { border: 1px solid red; }
</style>
