CSS equivalent of cellspacing='0'

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?

 

try padding: 0;

 

sigh ......

 

meaning?
did it help or did it not work as you wanted?

 

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.

 

If you read the question, you would know.

 

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):

 

That works, Thank you

 

Glad it does Let us know if any other css issue.

 

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.
