HTML Multiple Tables Spacing

Lets say I have 2 tables wrapped inside a Div:

<div class = "main" id = "mainDiv">
    <table id = "one">
    1
    </table>

    <table id = "two">
    2
    </table>
</div>

How can I displays these two tables side by side with 5 px apart from each other? Is there something like "cellspacing" I can use but for tables?

I would use css and you can make it so that it's responsive, Check out this code for 2 columns. In this code it is 2 equal width columns at 49.2%. If you want a different split change that.

/*  SECTIONS  */
.section {
	clear: both;
	padding: 0px;
	margin: 0px;
}

/*  COLUMN SETUP  */
.col {
	display: block;
	float:left;
	margin: 1% 0 1% 1.6%;
}
.col:first-child { margin-left: 0; }

/*  GROUPING  */
.group:before,
.group:after { content:""; display:table; }
.group:after { clear:both;}
.group { zoom:1; /* For IE 6/7 */ }

/*  GRID OF TWO  */
.span_2_of_2 {
	width: 100%;
}
.span_1_of_2 {
	width: 49.2%;
}

/*  GO FULL WIDTH AT LESS THAN 480 PIXELS */

@media only screen and (max-width: 480px) {
	.col { 
		margin: 1% 0 1% 0%;
	}
}

@media only screen and (max-width: 480px) {
	.span_2_of_2, .span_1_of_2 { width: 100%; }
}
<div class="section group">
	<div class="col span_1_of_2">
	This is column 1
	</div>
	<div class="col span_1_of_2">
	This is column 2
	</div>
</div>

Your structure is incorrect, it should be like this :

<div class = "main" id = "mainDiv">
    <table id = "one">
       <tr>
         <td>1</td>
       </tr> 
    </table>

    <table id = "two">
       <tr>
         <td>2</td>
       </tr> 
    </table>
</div>

And you could change the display:table; of the table to display:inline-table; to align them on one line.
