How do I get padding between table cells, but not around the entire table?

This isn't a perfect solution, as it uses padding instead of border spacing. Possibly it will work for your problem though HTML: table> Data 1 Data 2 Data 3 Data 4.

HTML: Data 1 Data 2 Data 3 Data 4 And the CSS: table { border: 1px red solid; border-collapse: separate; } td { background-color: green; border: 1px black solid; padding: 10px; } td:first-child { padding-left: 0px; } td:last-child { padding-right: 0px; } tr:first-child td { padding-top: 0px; } tr:last-child td { padding-bottom: 0px; } Produces: Also on jsFiddle.

Actually, that looks precisely like what I am looking for - I was not aware that there is a last-child pseudo-class. – Software Monkey Jun 15 at 5:19 Yes, but I warned you: It only works > IE8. :( – Kirk Woll Jun 15 at 5:20.

Can you fiddle with the markup to add . First to the first cell in a row and . Last to the last, and I guess also to the first and last rows, and then pad appropriately?

Not realistically - it would be a significant effort and a maintenance nightmare. – Software Monkey Jun 15 at 5:17.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
