Tables and CSS

Sent by Sasha Gerrand on 30 September 2004 04:04


Hi,

*OFF-TOPIC INTRO
It's seems like an eternity since I've posted to the list, but the demands
of work have kept me far from idle in the interim. CSS-D has continued to
have been a fascinating read though; so much good voodoo and serious
knowledge being spread gratis is a very encouraging thing in today's world.

*ON-TOPIC
Recently, I've been re-purposing and publishing a lot of
financial/governance documents for the web. This obviously involves a hell
of a lot of financial data in tables. So far, this hasn't been much of a
problem at all.

What is becoming more of a recent issue, albeit it a tiny one, is the need
to put in a "cellspacing" attribute in each of the table tags (along with
the id and summary, natch)!

Does anyone have a good substitute for this? I've had no luck in reproducing
this simple and easy ~ HTML 2.0 behaviour using something more logical in
CSS like:
table {
    padding: 0;
}
table td {
    margin: 0;
}

Here's a more recent example of what I mean by the above:
(X)HTML:
http://clients.amm.com.au/cba/2004/annualreport/five_year_financial_summary.
html
CSS:
http://clients.amm.com.au/cba/2004/annualreport/cba_2004-screen.css[1]

Any ideas and all input appreciated!

[1] the other files - "print.css" and "screen.css" are base level stuff
only.

Cheers,
Sasha
