Is there a way to set cellpadding of a single cell instead of setting it for all of them? Or am I going to have nest a table?

Thanks,

You can give the TD a single class and then set it with CSS, for example:

<td class="extra-padding">Hello</td>
'

And the CSS to go with it:

.extra_padding {
padding:5px;
}
'

Alternatively, if it's just a once off thing, you can do this:

<td style="padding:5px;">Hello</td>
'

But, I recommend that you put it in a class.

Yeah CSS classes would do the trick...
or CSS without tables...
or Combination...

Thanks a ton Renegade. It did the trick.

I know I should be using all CSS but I always end up going back to tables since im not a huge coder and tables are easy.

Whats a good site that I can go to get "primers" on page layouts with CSS? Although I am just about finished with the site so maybe I will just leave the tables for now.
