cs(s) question

rookie css/html/js/php genie here

trying to design a nice looking webpage using a table  but can't exactly figure out how to get a horizontal rule for my <th> tag and a verticle bar for regular table body tages

kind of like

__________header_____
 bullshit  | info

using css

as when I


<table>
<tr>
<th> header </th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td border = "1px">  bullshit </td>
<td> info </td> 
</tr>

it expands the first td cell to the size of the first th cell

leaving the css out for the time being until I figure out the html....

I love you...

This (and other `grid frameworks') bug me. Why not just set the widths and heights yourself? Once you've laid your website out how you want it, chances are it's going to stay that way. Why all the superfluous CSS?
