 I'm trying to create a fairly simple table to lay out an itinerary.

The work 'fine' by Firefox logic but I want *all* the borders to be the same pale grey *without* any shading. With the shading that Firefox insists on doing all the borders except the RHS and bottom look much darker than I want. There's no way (except by using CSS) to get Firefox to give really faint borders.

 Currently I'm using OpenOffice as it makes it easy to generate the
 table with row spans and column spans etc.  It actually seems to
 produce quite straightforward HTML.

 However neither Firefox 3 nor IE 7 seem to display the table borders
 correctly.  Firefox 3 does really wierd things to some of the borders
 and IE 7 just shows them with differing thicknesses.

 All I want is the same cell/table borders everywhere.

 There's very little CSS and not much HTML so why are the borders so
 wonky?
