Sadly enough only real CSS browsers do support that. IE (being the most
used one) does not do that as of now (and is not likely to ever do it
until longhorn is out).
So all you can do is add classes to the TDs, or use a
Javascript to access the table's DOM and add the settings.
This'll make you dependent on Javascript though.
