CSS Cellspacing - Cellpadding
I've been reading on the internet and getting conflicting info. I would like to move the cellspacing and cellpadding attributes into my css sheet. How would I go about this?

<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>TEST</TITLE></HEAD><BODY>
<LINK REL=STYLESHEET TYPE=TEXT/CSS HREF=style.css>

<BR><CENTER>
<TABLE CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING=0><TR>
<TD><TABLE CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING=0><TR>
<TD WIDTH=100% COLSPAN=2><IMG SRC=img/header.gif></TD></TR>

<TR><TD WIDTH=22% VALIGN=TOP BACKGROUND=img/navbg.gif>
&nbsp;&nbsp;<A CLASS=MENU HREF=index.php>Link #1</A><BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;<A CLASS=MENU HREF=index.php>Link #1</A><BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;<A CLASS=MENU HREF=index.php>Link #1</A><BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;<A CLASS=MENU HREF=index.php>Link #1</A><BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;<A CLASS=MENU HREF=index.php>Link #1</A><BR>
<BR></TD><TD VALIGN=TOP>

CONTENT AREA

</TD></TR></TABLE>
</TD></TR></TABLE>
</CENTER>
</BODY>
</HTML>

I've never looked into the CellSpacing before.

Found these:

border-collapse: collapse; /* ie6 ? */
border-spacing: 0; /* px? ns 6? */

This combo got it down to 1px but I still had white space. From what I read the above tags only work with new browsers. CSS has too many quirks.

CSS is a great concept but I can't stand the way it's been, being implimented.

TABLE.MAIN {
margin-top: 0px;
margin-left: 0px;
margin-right: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
padding-top: 0px;
padding-left: 0px;
padding-right: 0px;
padding-bottom: 0px;
border-color: black;
border-style: solid;
border-top-width: 2;
border-left-width: 2;
border-right-width: 2;
border-bottom-width: 2
border-spacing: 0;
border-collapse: collapse;
}

You can narrow all that down into something like this:

table.main {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
border: 2px solid black;
border-spacing: 0px;
border-collapse: collapse;
}

Btw, the link tag is supposed to be in the head tag, not the body tag.

This is the code I use (with formatting taken out, of course)...

TABLE {
border-spacing: 0px;
border-collapse: collapse;
}
TD {
margin: 5px;
padding: 5px;
}

That works in IE and Netscape. I haven't tried with older browsers, but the newest versions seem as happy as they come with that code. That means you just use 2 lines of code to tell the browsers do have no margins... if it doesn't work in the older browsers, then just chuck in:

margin: 0px;
or
padding: 0px;

And one of those 2 will sort it out. I forget which, but one of them will. As long as the browser you're using supports CSS - haha.

Remember also that if you just want margins on one side, for example, you can type:

margin: 0px;
margin-bottom: 5px;

So you don't need to type 4 lines of code when 2 will do.

Hope I could help!

I use the following. I've yet to find a more complete compilation of CSS properties (aside from MSDN for IE, but that's a pain to use).

CSS Property Index

(There's also an HTML index for those interested.)

Maybe Netscape and Microsoft should use this list and save everyone the hassle...

So you don't need to type 4 lines of code when 2 will do.

or even 1 line:
margin: 0px 0px 2px 0px;
(top right bottom left)


sorry to bring up an old post, couldn't help helping
