Is there a possibilty to define the cellspacing/cellpadding-properties of a
table with css instead of using the tag-attributes? I can't find anything
working the way i want.

Thanks,
D.Barisch

I haven't tried this but give it a shot if you haven't already:

td
{
margin: <your choice>;
padding: <your choice>;
}

That's syntax I also expected to work, but it doesn't! It only affects the
margin and padding of the elments inside the cell, but it does not affect
the space between themselves.

Try this out. I added the colors and took out the BODY margins to make it a
bit clearer that modifying the value of "table { margin ...; }" does, in
fact, do something. =)

<html><head>
<STYLE>
body { margin:0px; background-color:blue; }
table { margin:50px; }
</STYLE></head><body>

<table bgcolor="#FF0000" border="0">
<tr>
<td>Hi</td>
<td>There</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Just</td>
<td>Testing</td>
</tr>
</table>

</body></html>

===================================

Good Morning!

Thank you for your help, but it also doesn't work the way I want. I want to
change the space between the certain cells of one Table, not the space
beetween all cells and the border of the table.

Ah, there's a trick to getting it to work; you need to set border-collapse:
collapse; on the table in additon.

I'm very sorry, but it DOES NOT Work, also with setting border-collapse to
collapse!

Odd. Works for me.

Do you have an example URL that demonstrates it not working?
