Ok... how do you set background colors for individual cells in a table?

You could use the good ol' deprecated, incorrect method:

<td bgcolor="#FF0000">WEE!</td>

Or the correct CSS method:

<td style="background-color:#FF0000;">WEE!</td>

That would be using inline styles.
You can visit this link (http://www.w3schools.com) for more information on CSS, which is a very good idea.

How do you get the border of cells to be a certain color?

CSS again, you really shluld look into it, it's just so useful, and makes so many things so much easier.

<td style="border: *px *style *color">WEE!</td>

You seperate rules with a semicolon (;) so style="border: *px *style *color; background: *background values"

yeah, and change the *before px to something around 3,4 sumtin like that px are really small, but big borders are pret-tay ugly.

ok, style rule i said defunes the different kinds of borders, either solid, dotted, dashed, double, inset, outset, groove... those are all the ones i know.

change color to a hex value (i.e.: #e3372e) or normal (i.e.: red, blu,e yellow, black).

k?
