Table Cellspacing and cellpadding

Permalink 1 user found helpful April 30, 2012 at 6:13 AM

I'm trying to add a 3 column table with spacing between the columns and while it looks fine in edit mode as soon as I update the table displayed doesn't show the spacing (or borders)

Do the standard editor table options work or do I need to use CSS (which I'm not very familiar with.

I have seen a tables add on in the market place for $35 but surely this should work from the editor menu?

Here's sample code:

<table border="1" cellpadding="25">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><strong>Date</strong></td>
<td><strong>Start Time</strong></td>
<td><strong>Duration</strong></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Sunday May 13th, 2012</td>
<td>9.30 am</td>
<td>3 to 3.5 hours</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Sunday May 13th, 2012</td>
<td>9.30 am</td>

<td>Sunday May 13th, 2012</td>

<td>3 to 3.5 hours</td>
</tr>
