You're missing the rest of the code and an explanation of what doesn't
work, what you want, and target browsers, if any.

Context = tell us what the heck you want.

I want the user to be able to click on a checkbox which will using
javascript show/hide the border of a table

If the table is named tabMain (<table id="tabMain">)

if (document.getEl ementById && document.getEle mentById("tabMa in").style)
{
document.getEle mentById("tabMa in").style.bord er = "1";
}
else alert("You need a better browser.");
You don't need "top" unless you're using frames, in which case you need
the frame name as defined in the frameset.

if (top.frames["frameName"].document.getEl ementById && top.frames
["frameName"].document.getEl ementById("tabM ain").style)
{
top.frames["frameName"].document.getEl ementById
("tabMain").sty le.border = "1";
}
else alert("You need a better browser.");

That is unlikely to work, since "1" is not a valid CSS value for the
border property.

The original poster wrote this "top.document.f rmMain.tabMain. border". I
assume "frmMain" is a frame name. I.e., something like:

var frm = top.frames['frmMain'];
if (frm && frm.document.ge tElementById) {
var elem = frm.document.ge tElementById("t abMain");
if (elem && elem.style) {
elem.style.bord er = "1px solid black";
}
}

How WOULD you set the border to 1? I stick to DIVs mostly, which would
be like...
document.getEle mentById("tabMa in").style.bord er="thin solid black";
I don't think that would set the borders for the cells, though, just the
table. It would look different than having border be "1" in the table

If you want to simulate the border attribute, the most likely way is:
document.getEle mentById("tabMa in").border=1 ;
If that doesn't work, you can try:
document.getEle mentById("tabMa in").setAttribu te("border","1" );

Yes. I never used the border attribute, so I would go for a CSS solution:

<style type="text/css">
table {
border-collapse:collap se;
}
.borderTable td {
border: 1px solid black;
}
</style>

and then set the className instead of the border property:

document.getEle mentById("tabMa in").className= "borderTabl e";

To remove the border, you would then do:

document.getEle mentById("tabMa in").className= "";
