I did it with .css <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.simplysara.com/blog/">www.simplysara.com/blog/</a><!-- w --> Is that what you are looking for? I know that the one page you posted about is an image, but this is a cool subject and I want to fuel it.
<!--content-->sara, i cant find any dotted lines in the link you posted....???<!--content-->Had a look in the site you suggested. The dotted lines are done with background GIFs. Have a look at the source.<br />

It is unfortunate that CSS 1.0 performs very badly with tables and I don't think they ever considered to support them. This is evident as there is very little css 1.0 for tables. It is considered that FLOATING your data is the preferred method of getting things done, and FLOATING can get you the border style you want.<br />
this is how you would do it. Notice how little authoring is needed to get the effect, no table mentioned anywhere. Insert the follow code into a page and view it, remember to add the normal <html><head> etc etc stuff.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="float: right; width:45%; border-style: dotted solid dotted dotted;"><br />
enter a whole bunch of text here, loads so you can see the effect.<br />
</div><br />
<br />
<div style="float: left; width:45%; border-style: dotted dotted dotted solid;"><br />
enter even more text here.<br />
</div><br />

CSS 2.0 supports tables even more, I think they changed thier minds. I won't go into that now as so many browser producers are having problems getting their thumbs out of theirs asses to worry about CSS 2.0.<!--content-->
