You use the <TR> and <TD> tags to create table rows and cells. You don't actually use cellspacing and cellpadding to create the table itself. These are attributes for use with the <table> tag and are for setting the spacing between and in the cells. <br />
<br />
Cell spacing is the space between each individual cell. <br />
<br />
Cell padding is the space between the edge of the cell and the content inside.<br />
<br />
Like I said, try the tutorials for a better explanation. Then if you're really stuck you can come back and ask again!<!--content-->Ok, here is a really basic thing. I pur the border on so you can see whats happening. Put this on a web page and you'll see.<br />
<br />
<table BORDER=1 COLS=2 WIDTH="100%" HEIGHT="100%" ><br />
<tr><br />
<td>This is the left hand side column</td><br />
<br />
<td>The right hand side column.</td><br />
</tr><br />
</table><br />
----------------------------<br />
At the moment, both columns are equal. If you would like on column wider than the other...<br />
----------------------------<br />
<table BORDER COLS=2 WIDTH="100%" HEIGHT="100%" ><br />
<tr><br />
<br />
<td WIDTH="20%"><br />
Left hand side column, it takes up 20% of page, notice the tag.<br />
</td><br />
<br />
<td WIDTH="80%"><br />
Right hand side of column, takes up 80% of page, notice the tag.<br />
</td><br />
</tr><br />
</table><br />
----------------------------<br />
As you can see in the above one, one column takes up 20%, the other takes up 80% of the page. Just adding the extra tag did that. <TD WIDTH="20%"><!--content-->Jolly, you have been giving out some really good advice lately! Making your border visible helps you to create tables well, it is the 'scaffolding' that is later removed.<br />
