Thin Tables

Hi can someone please tell me how to create a thin table.
I have tried using a few examples and it is my understanding that basically your table needs to have a cell padding of 3 and a border of 1.
I must be missing something as my tables are still fat !

Can someone please point me in the right direction !
I guess the only thing I haven't tried is imbedding more than one table into another table in order to get the desired effect.

Basically my primary goal is to create a web page that has thin table lines around the main body of the web page.

Thanks.

it is my understanding that basically your table needs to have a cell
padding of 3 and a border of 1.

Any clues where you got that idea?

This code wil do what you want -

<table bgcolor="#333" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1" border="0"
width="500">
<tr>
<td><table bgcolor="#FFF" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1" border="0"
width="500">
<tr>
<td>How's this?</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><img src="shim.gif" width="500" height="250" name="shim"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
