That's not needed, it can be done with CSS. In general, you should
avoid presentational elements and attributes in HTML in favour of CSS.

You can remove every single one of the attributes in this sample markup,
and use CSS instead:
body { background: #e1d2be url(images/brown_bg.gif); color: #666;
margin: 0; padding: 0; }

:link:active, :visited:active { color: #F00; }

table { border: 0; width: 800px; height: 780px; border-spacing: 0; }
