Frank,
I'm not 100% sure what you're looking for, but... The CSS "margin" attribute
is roughly comparable to a table's cellspacing. Other things you can do:
background-color: #006699;
border: 1pt solid #808080; (saves typing border-width, border-style, etc.
:-)
You can specify a width as well, but I'm not sure you can specify it as a
percent. Also, remember that using, say:
tr { padding: 10px; background-color: #999999; color: #ffffff; }
Will change the padding, & c., for each and EVERY row on the page. Depending
on what you're doing, you may be better off with:
.row1 { padding: 10px; }
<tr class="row1"></tr>
CSS is pretty cool, but I've found it a little lacking - especially when
doing complex designs (where you typically rely on a table). I think a
combination of both CSS and "old-school" HTML has the best results. :-)
