Name
CELLPADDING — NN all IE 3 HTML 3.2
Synopsis
CELLPADDING=”length"Optional
The amount of empty space between the border of a table cell and the
content of the cell. Note that this attribute applies to space
inside a cell. Without setting this attribute,
most browsers render text content so that its leftmost pixels abut
the left edge of the cell. If the table displays borders, adding a
few pixels of breathing space between the border edge and the content
makes the content more readable. Large padding may also be desirable
in some design instances. This attribute is not as noticeable when
the table does not display borders (in which case the
CELLSPACING attribute can assist in adjusting the
space between cells).
Example
<TABLE BORDER=2 CELLPADDING=3>...</TABLE>
Value
Any length value in pixels or percentage of available space.
Default
0
