Without any idea of exactly what you want it is hard to guess what you need.

Perhaps a drawing of what you want might help. Do it manually with a pencil
and a peice of paper, scan it and post it on a web site somewhere.

That notwithstanding:

Ignore the border attribute, use CSS entirely.

Go over to the specs at
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/tables.html#propdef-border-spacing and have a
read.

You will see you have three properties to play with: border, padding and
border-spacing. Only those three. Juggle them on the two tables as best you
can. There is quite a good diagram of what goes where in the spec.

However if what you want is what I think you want then it can't be done, or
at least I could not do it in the five minutes I have allocated to you. One
can never remove the border-spacing around the group of cells in that inner
table. Here is my best effort:

Play with it at your leisure.
