CSS equivalent of cellspacing='0'

Discussion in 'CSS' started by fatabbot, May 3, 2007.

    how come it's easy to set the padding of a table(cellpadding='0') in css with the line padding:0;

    and there is no such thing as spacing:0; ...

    How does this work in CSS?

    That's the first line he posted and then you repeat that ;)

    But as far as I know there is no specific css command to give exactly the same effect as cellspacing, maybe you could it with margins.

    ok, you could say that instead of *sigh*

    padding is sort of spacing. it sets a margin between the box and the content. (not the margin between elements)

    does this answer the question?

    deques, try adding this to your stylesheets
    table {
     border-collapse: collapse;
    }
    td {
     margin: 0;
    }
    Code (markup):

    The css equivalent is border-spacing. All modern browsers support the property. IE, (are you ready?) doesn't support it.

    For zero spacing, and merged cell borders, the {border-collapse: collapse;} is what you need. If borders are to be separate, you still need to use the cellspacing attribute for IE.

    cheers,

    gary
