This is a piece of cake.

Simply add a border tag and border color tag to the table tag.

Looks like this:
<table border="1" bordercolor="blue">

That should do it for you. Now, give me points.

Borders are easily applied to tables within HTML with the addition of attributes to the table tag.

In this case, to add a border and a border color, you simply need to add those tags to the table tag.

Example

<table border="1" bordercolor="blue">
<td>
</td>
</table>

This will show a blue border around the table. You can adjust the color and size of the border simply by changing the values between the inverted quotes. You can also accomplish this through CSS but for that tutorial you will have to go somewhere else. It is slightly more complicated.

Borders can be added to almost any object in HTML by applying the "style" attribute to the tag.

Example

<table style="border: 1px solid blue">

Explanation:

border (the CSS attribute)
1px (the size - here in pixels)
solid (the style)
blue (the color)

Not so complicated after all...
