They weren't being used by themselves. I did the reset and then proceeded to set
by own margin/padding for various elements in the stylesheet. However, even so,
I'd want to the default padding on any given TD to be 0.
I tried to do a CSS solution to this problem by creating a style like:
table.cellpadding_4 tr td {
padding: 4px;
}
and then putting class="cellpadding_4" on the TABLE containing the TDs I wanted
to have the padding, but this didn't seem to have any effect. What's the proper
way to do this?
