Table Cellpadding Problem

[WhiteOut]

Can anyone tell me if Im using cell padding correctly? It doesn't seem to be working. You can look at my table at http://techgeekmag.com/links/

Heres the code:

<table border="1" bordercolor="red" cellpadding="10">
<tr>
<td><b><center>Website</center></b></td>
<td><b><center>Description</center></b></td>
<tr>
<td>
<a href="http://prime-media.me.uk/">Prime Media</a>
</td>
<td>

</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<A HREF="http://www.linkhelpers.net">Targeted Website Traffic</A>
</td>
<td>Webmasters helping webmasters develop high value relevant links. Promoting ethical web-marketing using the time trusted pillars of relevance and popularity.
</td>
</tr>
    <tr>
        <td><a href="http://tmondo.com/">tmondo</a></td>
                <td>Tmondo.com is your number one source for free Online Games.

    </tr>
</table>

Perfectly, be sure you know the difference between cellpadding and cellspacing.

I found that you have this in your CSS that overrides the cellspacing declaration you made in the HTML:

* {
    margin:0;
    padding:0;
}

I hope this helps you =)

Thanks, but I'm still having some issues. If I remove that from the CSS, the navigation images don't line up correctly. I tried making a div for the nav with margin:0; and padding:0; in it, but it didn't fix it. Do you know of any solutions?

Well, you could take the easy way out and make an inline style declaration inside the head tag and leave the wild card or you can isolate the problem and make classes for the menu that needs spacing. By having that wild card, you place yourself in a difficult position to edit the page.

table.classname td{
	padding: 50px;
}

* {
	padding: 0px;
	margin: 0px;
}

This should override the wild card, and set the table padding. Make sure you use the class="classname" inside your table, rename the class if you want.
