HTML table needs spacing between columns, not rows

Question

I have an HTML table. I need to have spacing between the table columns, but not the table rows.

If I use the cellspacing CSS property it does it between bot

Answer 1

The better approach uses Shredder's css rule: padding: 0 15px 0 15px only instead of inline css, define a css rule that applies to all tds. Do This by using a style tag in your page:

or give the table a class like "paddingBetweenCols" and in the site css use

.paddingBetweenCols td
{
    padding:0 15px;
}

The site css approach defines a central rule that can be reused by all pages.

If your doing to use the site css approach, it would be best to define a class like above and apply the padding to the class...unless you want all td's on the entire site to have the same rule applied.
