Border and Color Styles on Tables...

I want to use CSS to control the color and borders on all the tables in my
site, so I can just modify the CSS file, to control the behavior of the
tables.

Problem Is:
Using CSS I cant seem to get the same shadow and border effects that I can
in HTML.
Ridge, Outset or Inset - none of these give the same effects.

Thanks for any advice you can give me.


Here is an HTML table from my site.....

<CENTER><TABLE BACKGROUND="bkground.gif" BORDERCOLOR=#CED6FF
BORDERCOLORLIGHT=#CED6FF BORDERCOLORDARK=BLUE CELLPADDING=2 CELLSPACING=5
BORDER=3 WIDTH=350><TR><TD>
<P ALIGN=CENTER><FONT SIZE=5><font color="BLUE"><B>Visitor
Links</B></font></font></P></TD></TR></TABLE></CENTER>

Using CSS here is the STYLEs I'm trying to use.....

..table1 {
width: 350;
cell-padding: 5;
border-style: ridge;
border-width: 6px;
border-color: #CED6FF #4169E1 #4169E1 #CED6FF;
background-image: url(bkground.gif); }

P.table2 {
text-align: CENTER;
color: BLUE;
font-size: 1.50em;
font-weight: bold; }
