HTML Table positioning and column spacing

Question

In the "table style" portion of my code, is there a way for me to adjust the space between the columns in a table? Also, what attribute should I put in to make sure the tables position is aligned completely to the left and top?

<table style="width: 960px; height: 81px;" border="0">

Answer 1

For current and future compatibility use CSS:

// cellspacing
table { border-collapse:separate; border-spacing: 5px; }

To make sure the table is aligned to the left and top, remove any top and left margins. You might also want to change the positioning (position:relative or position:absolute) based on where the table need to exist.

Answer 2

cellpadding controls the gaps inside cells and cellspacing controls the space between them.

<table style="width: 960px; height: 81px;" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

As for alignment, you control this within table cells:

<td align="left" valign="top">

Answer 3

you can try with cellspacing property in order to create space
