How do I make table borders transparent?

I have a marquee here with a table border surrounding it, using the style
attributes. Problem is, I want the table borders to be transparent, keeping
the spacing I wanted, but without the color fill. Any help would be
appreciated, as I've searched everywhere, and have not found any way to fix
this.

<table border="0" width="925" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#0073CE"
cellpadding="0" style="border-top: 3 solid #FFFFFF; border-bottom: 6 solid
#FFFFFF" align="center">
<tr>
<td valign="top" align="center">
<marquee style="color: #FFFFFF; font-weight: bold" align="middle"
scrollamount="5">Welcome to the A M S I H…. The Vet Stadium monitoring site
has been activated....The Activity Contact Sheet has been updated....Please
e-mail any intranet suggestions to awsplus.
</marquee>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
 
Suggested workarounds:
Use other means to space the table from its surroundings (such as <br>
vertically and horizontally).
Center the table inside a larger table that has no background.
Set no background for table, have narrow columnns & rows on the outside, &
format the innermost cell(s) with desired background.
 
Assign the table border color the same color as the page background color.
If the page background is white, make the table border white.
 
Oops, obviously the page background isn't white because the table border is
white (#ffffff). But still change the table border color to whatever color
the page background color is.
 
The background is an image, not a color.

Try this and see if it fills your needs:

<table border="0" width="925" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#0073CE"
cellpadding="0" style="border-top: 3 solid #0073CE; border-bottom: 6 solid
#0073CE" align="center">
<tr>
<td valign="top" align="center">
<marquee style="color: #FFFFFF; font-weight: bold" align="middle"
scrollamount="5">Welcome to the A M S I H…. The Vet Stadium monitoring site
has been activated....The Activity Contact Sheet has been updated....Please
e-mail any intranet suggestions to awsplus.
</marquee>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
 
Select the table and then under Table properties set border to zero.
