Padding and spacing are important in HTML tables to make the data more visually appealing and easy to read. Here is a tutorial on how to control padding and spacing in HTML tables:
- To set the padding for all the cells in the table, you can use the padding attribute on the <table> element. You can set the value of the attribute to any number of pixels you want.
<table padding="10px">
- To set the padding for specific cells, you can use the padding attribute on the <td> or <th> elements.
<td padding="5px">
- To set the spacing between cells, you can use the cellspacing attribute on the <table> element. You can set the value of the attribute to any number of pixels you want.
<table cellspacing="5px">
- To set the spacing between the cells’ content and the cells’ border, you can use the cellpadding attribute on the <table> element. You can set the value of the attribute to any number of pixels you want.
<table cellpadding="5px">
- If you want to control the padding and spacing using CSS, you can use the padding and margin properties.
td {
padding: 10px;
}
table {
margin: 20px;
}
- You can also use box-sizing property to include the padding and border in the total width and height of an element.
table {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
