This table does not have any padding of any kind (except my words!)
| No padding here, I'm afraid! | When we put a lot of text in a table then we find that the text tends to brush up to
the border of the table and it looks a bit cramped. However, we can fix it with a bit of padding. |
However, this table has cell padding!
| This is the code in the table; <TABLE BORDER="5" CELLPADDING="20"> | When we put a lot of text in a table then we find that the text tends to brush up to
the border of the table and it looks a bit cramped. Cell padding puts some space between the border of the cell and the text. Aren't I much prettier than before? Well, you know what you can do then. Put your own values in! |
And this table has cell spacing!
| This is the code in the table; <TABLE BORDER="5" CELLSPACING="20"> | When we put a lot of text in a table then we find that the text tends to brush up to
the border of the table and it looks a bit cramped. Cell spacing puts some space between the cells themselves in the table. |
And this little pig, er table, had all the padding and spacing it
wanted!
| This is the code in the table; <TABLE BORDER="5" CELLPADDING="20"> | When we put a lot of text in a table then we find that the text tends to brush up to
the border of the table and it looks a bit cramped. Cell padding puts some space between the border of the cell and the text. Cell spacing puts some space between the cells. This table has both. |
Did you notice that I put rather big values in for the padding, and for the border, so it was very clear what was going on? It is a good idea to be brave and try a few things. Be outrageous, and you'll find out how things work!
