Name

cellSpacing — NN n/a IE 4 DOM 1

Synopsis

The amount of empty space between the outer edges of each table cell. If the table has a border, the effect of setting cellSpacing is to define the thickness of borders rendered between cells. Even without a visible border, the readability of a table often benefits from cell spacing.

Example

document.all.myTable.cellSpacing = "5"

Value

A string value for a length in a variety of units or percentage.

0 (with no table border); 2 (with table border).
