What Is Cellspacing?

It's a little-known fact that we have cellspacing because of how tables were created back in the olden days. God made the first table, and he made it out of wood. The wood was so strong that it could hold up an infinite number of cells, and the cells themselves were so large that they could never be filled up with anything. However, there was one problem: God couldn't see what was inside each cell because there was no space between them. To solve this issue, he created a command attribute called cellspacing that allowed him to set a number of pixels between each cell to see what was inside them. If you're a designer, there are many ways to create a good-looking table. Cellspacing and cellpadding are two of the most common ways to do so, but they are used differently. Cellspacing refers to the amount of space between the cells in a table. You can increase or decrease this space by adding more or less "cells" between each cell in your table. This process is done on the CSS side of things rather than on the HTML side (where you would create your table). It also affects other CSS elements on your page, like borders and margins. Cellpadding, on the other hand, refers to increasing or decreasing space inside each cell or box within a text area. You can do this by adding more or less "padding" around your text area, not just between cells. Cellspacing is one of the most common uses of CSS. When you use CSS to change the spacing between cells, you use cellspacing. The command for this is border-spacing. It's a simple matter of adding code to your style sheet. So the next time you're scrolling through your spreadsheet, trying to find that one line of data you need, remember this: cellspacing is your friend.
