Cannot put margin on tag with neither CSS nor cellspacing attribute

Question

For whatever reason, I have been unable to get any table cells to have margin between them. I want the table cells to have a grey background colour (over a white page backgr

If you're using a CSS reset at the beginning of your stylesheet, check to see if it has the following code.

table {
  border-collapse: collapse;
}

If that's the case, try overriding it with:

border-collapse: separate;
