Need help padding table rows

[SergioQ]

Hello All,

I would like to "pad" the rows of my table. Cellpadding and
Cellspacing aren't an option cause they affect both the horizontal as
well as vertical axis.
So I used to do essentially a row with nothing more than one  
in
it.
Then I realized thta if I removed the   my padding got smaller,
and I could use 2 or 3 and get more precise.
So my question is, is this row:
<tr><td></td></tr>
Or could not having the &nbsp; in there cause a problem?
Thanks ahead, as always.

Well, no, he wanted spacing between rows:

td { padding-top: 1em; padding-bottom: 1em; }

or some such thing.
