OK, I found the solution. Was actually pretty simple.

Used this in the CSS file:
..myTable {

padding: 0;
margin: 0;
border-width: 1;
border-color: #996600;
border-style: solid;
}

And this in the HTML (ASP) file:
..table class="myTable"
</foolish grin>

It's incredible what Google can find for you when you use the right
search phrase. ;-)

Same as any other element, but be aware that whilst the border
attribute of <table> in HTML affects both the table and its
constituent cells the border property in CSS can affect table and
cells separately.

table {
border-color: #FF0000;
}

td, th {
border-color: #0000FF;
}

Give red borders around the table and blue borders around the
individual cells. Set border-width, border-style, border-collapse and
border-spacing as well for more options.

See http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/box.html#border-properties

Re: Tables, bordercolor and CSS

Try this:

table {
border: 1px solid #99660;
border-collapse: collapse;
padding: 2px;
margin-top: 0.5em;
margin-bottom: 0;
}
