Using Tables to Present Content 191
To set cell padding and spacing, choose from the following options:
•
In the CellPad field, specify the number of pixels between the cell content and
the cell boundary (or wall).
•
In the CellSpace field, specify the number of pixels between each table cell.
When cell spacing and cell padding are not assigned specific values, Netscape
Navigator, Microsoft Internet Explorer, and Dreamweaver all display the table as
if cell spacing were set to 2 and cell padding were set to 1.

In the Border field, specify the width of the table border in pixels. Most

view cell and table boundaries when the border is set to 0, choose View >
Visual Aids > Table Borders.
