cellspacing

A feature of a table in HTML, it controls the "spacing" or the area between the individual cells of a table. In HTML, tables allow an author to render text and graphics on a Web page in columns and rows. There are many options available for laying out a table, and cellspacing is one of them. Basically, cellspacing allows for more "white space" between cells, whereas cellpadding provides more space within each cell. Of course, the two can be used together, which gives the author flexibility in designing the table. It's a subtle distinction but very apparent when used: click on the "more info" button below to see an example :-)
