cell spacing

[Guest]

I am having some difficulties getting the cell spacing just right. I want all my cells to have a spacing of 5 except the ones along the edge of the page I want them to be flush with the table. Any suggestions. thanks for the help. Mat

You can't vary the cell spacing w/i a table
- all you can do is nest tables w/ different cell spacing is that's what your need

Hi Matthew,
You can't do this with cellspacing it has to be set for the whole table.
Answers would be to use nested tables per Stefan's suggestion or experiment
with padding - you can set padding cell by cell rather than for the whole
table, for example

<style type="text/css">
#left{padding: 20px;}
#right{padding:0;}
</style>
<table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0>
<tr>
<td id="left">this cell will have 20 pixels of padding</td>
<td id="right">this cell will have 0 padding</td>
</tr>
</table>
