Whenever I make a table with cells there is a small space between each of the cells. Is there away to get rid of this space? If I have two cells next to each other with separate background colors, and a white background behind that, there will be a little white strip between the 2 colors. Also I have been using Dreamweaver.

<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

I was searching for a css alternative to cellspacing element and found this nice little bit of code:

----------------------------------------------------
1) Try this: [works in mozilla, ns6, ie6 ]

/* Equivalent for cellspacing=0 */
table{
border-collapse: collapse;
}

/* Equivalent for cellspacing=5px */
/* Works in IE5+ */
--------------------
table{
border-collapse: collapse;
border-width: 5px;
}

/* Works in NN */
--------------------
table{
border-collapse: collapse;
border-spacing: 5px;
}

Do away with tables completely and use CSS; it's cleaner and faster.

That is still perfectly valid, and it will even validate as XHTML 1.0 Strict. CSS is the beter option, but not everyone is comfortable with that. Especially not someone new to web design, which this person might be... by the sounds of it.

If the person is NEW to web design, NOW is the time to learn CSS and design without horrid tables. Why develop a bad habit and have to struggle with a switch ?? Learn it from the very start

so lady in red, you not keen on tables?

Yes very true. BUT... I never fully realized the power of CSS layout until I struggled with working with tables for years. After struggling for a bit, it made me appreciate CSS more than if I hadn't
