As you can see by my website, my tables desperatly need margins. What code would I use?<br />
<br />
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www12.brinkster.com/asylumlife/index.html">http://www12.brinkster.com/asylumlife/index.html</a><!-- m --><!--content-->You can use cellspacing and cellpadding.<br />
<br />
cellpadding is the amount of space INSIDE a cell. e.g. the amount of empty space between a table cell's border and the content.<br />
<br />
cellspacing, on the otherhand is the amount of empty space between table cells. If you have a border value set for the table, setting cellspacing will define the width of the border between cells (e.g. cellspacing=5 border=2 will render a 5 pixel border). E.g. you can set border=4 in table tag and set cellspacing to 2. That will create a thicker outside border than between the cells.<br />
<br />
But even if you do not use table border, then setting cellspacing to a positive value will create space between the cells.<br />
<br />
Try to experiment with various cellspacing, cellpadding and border values and see how it works:<br />
<br />
Try this and see the effect:<br />
<br />
<table border=4 cellspacing=2 cellpadding=10><!--content-->Thanks, I'll try that
