I'm wondering if it's at all possible to have spacing between a table's
cells, and only between the cells, not between the outter cells and the
table's border. See end of message for an example (make sure to view this in
fixed width font).
I've played around with different things, such as margin-right, etc. but I
didn't get any results. Would this be even possible. I would have thought
the specs (either HTML or CSS) would have allowed for something like this...
Am I wrong?
Thx.

I'm curious, why do you want to do this? See below for a possible solution.

'cellpadding' and 'cellspacing' in HTML are replaceable in CSS with
'padding' and 'margin' respectively, if applied to table cells. See: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/box.html#box-dimensions
A further enhancement is 'border-spacing', where the lengths specify the
distance that separates adjacent cell borders. See: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/tables...border-spacing

Read: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/tables.html
Margin for table cell has no effect, and it certainly is not cellspacing.

Wrong place.

This is same as cellspacing, exept it is bit more advanced.

Right; and it adds space between the cells and table border too, which is
what I wanted to avoid (had already tried it)

True, I was unclear on your goal.
Gus suggested this: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/tables...border-spacing
I'm still not sure if it will fit the bill but I made a working example
anyway. I used a border for visibility but it's not required. IMO one
working example is worth a thousand words. Too bad the w3c doesn't have any.
See below:

My mistake, that doesn't work without a border. It's probably not what you
want anyway.

Quite right.
That's what I figured after many failed attempts :)
But there is way to style table so that it looks like that:
tbody {display:table;
border-spacing:1em;
margin:-1em -1em -1em -1em;
}
table, td, th {border:solid;}
(you don't need to have tbody element in html, but you need it if doing
proper xhml) http://www.student.oulu.fi/~laurirai...est/table.html
Works in Opera (8b3). If you want to avoid the default cellpadding
between table and tbody, use
table {disply:inline-block.}
Does not work in IE. Might work in FF. Should be somewhat widely tested
before use, as negative margins are likely to degrade badly... (but since
they should do nothing if display:table is not supported, it should work
if CSS support is not buggy.)

Hmmm, perhaps not, but this got me thinking and I tried:
..special { border: 10pt solid transparent }
instead, which is about as close as you can get to what I wanted. This works
well in Safari (which is what I need this for), and also Firefox/Mozilla,
but brain-dead IE doesn't seem to understand what 'transparent' means (duh!
;)
I might just be able to use that.
Thx!
