Comparison - cellpadding versus cellspacing

What's the difference between cellpadding and cellspacing in a table cell?

Cellpadding adds space all around a table cell - so if you set cellpadding to 2 pixels, you're adding 4 pixels between the data in neighboring cells. But cellspacing controls the space between the cells, so specifying 2 will add just two pixels between the cells.

You'll also find that if you have your background colour for a cell set to a different colour to the background, it will effect your cellpadding but NOT your cellspacing.

Perhaps an example would help?

Cellpadding = 2 and Cellspacing = 0

Every attempt was made to provide current information at the time the page was written, but things do move forward in our business - new software releases, price changes, new techniques. Please check back via our main site for current courses, prices, versions, etc - any mention of a price in "The Horse's Mouth" cannot be taken as an offer to supply at that price.
