How can I make an image as the table border?

*thinking hard*.
Well, if you mean like a pattern, you could use the image as a background image in an outer table and then use cellpadding or cellspacing in the outer table if you want a border around the whole inner table or cellspacing in the inner table if you want it to show around each cell.

If you want more like a real image you need to put it in it's own row or column and size it after the image. (Make an extra cell + rowspan/colspan).

Hope I got that half right now. :p

Hey hey, maybe YES

Can STYLEs be applied to tables?! You can do textured borders with styles I can remember...

(r u everywhere? :p)
Yeah, you can style tables but there is no border-image. You could fake them similar to above since everything can be positioned wherever. But if you go for that, I would skip tables for layout altogether since you have to deal with browser quirks anyway as soon as you tangent CSS2.
