Hello,
I'm new to this forum and, further, new to making websites. It's driving me crazy trying to figure out how to make a table/box with a simple border. For instance, if you go to www.rei.com, you'll see a box towards the bottom left that says "News and Deals". How on earth do you make a box with a border that thin and clean looking? I understand you can't do it with traditional borders in HTML using tables. When I highlight the text on the page, it doesn't show that the box is an image, since only the text highlights and not the entire box. When I view the source code, where the boxes should appear, there are not tables or borders. Instead, on pages with these styles of boxes, I noticed the tag <div>. Does this have anything to do with it?
Many thanks for anybody's help in advance.

You need to use CSS i think, its something like borderstyle=solid and borderwidth=1 something like that

There's lots of ways to do it.. mostly using CSS.. this is probably the easiest to explain:
It would be wise to learn CSS though then you can do a LOT more with your site.
DIV is usually used in conjunction with CSS stylesheets.
<table style="border: 1px solid black">
