There is another useful way to manipulate borders. Start with this...

<table border="3">

<tr>
<td>Ed</td>
<td>Tom</td>
<td>Rick</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td>Larry</td>
<td>Curly</td>
<td>Moe</td>
</tr>

</table>
Ed Tom Rick
Larry Curly Moe

We can show only the row borders (rules)...

<table border="3" rules="rows">

<tr>
<td>Ed</td>
<td>Tom</td>
<td>Rick</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td>Larry</td>
<td>Curly</td>
<td>Moe</td>
</tr>

</table>
Ed Tom Rick
Larry Curly Moe

Or only the column borders...

<table border="3" rules="cols">

<tr>
<td>Ed</td>
<td>Tom</td>
<td>Rick</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td>Larry</td>
<td>Curly</td>
<td>Moe</td>
</tr>

</table>
Ed Tom Rick
Larry Curly Moe

Or no inside borders at all...

<table border="3" rules="none">

<tr>
<td>Ed</td>
<td>Tom</td>
<td>Rick</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td>Larry</td>
<td>Curly</td>
<td>Moe</td>
</tr>

</table>
Ed Tom Rick
Larry Curly Moe

Pretty simple, eh? I thought so.

And to think you were worried about learning HTML tables. :-)
