Quick Tip: How to apply Cellpadding and Cellspacing in CSS

In HTML, we have seen the table styles cellpadding and cellspacing can be set as

. But how would this be accomplished using cascading style sheet?

The way of doing this is very simple and can be achieved as for “cellpadding” , we can simply use padding on table cells. E.g. for 15px of “cellpadding”:

td { 
    padding: 15px;
}


For "cellspacing", we can apply the border-spacing property to the table. E.g. for 15px of "cellspacing":

table { 
    border-spacing: 10px;
    border-collapse: separate;
}
