HTML Table Cell Padding


Syntax:

By using <style> tag we can set the table paddings,sizes and borders.

The syntax below:

<html>
<head>
<style type=”text/css”>
classname.table name
{
Some codes declaration;
}
</style>
</head>
</html>

The above codes described the basic syntax for padding property of CSS style tag in HTML. We will use the class names and table names to set the padding styles in web pages.

How does Table cell padding works in CSS?

  • In CSS cell padding property is not enable means it automatically set the default values. Basically cell padding is used for spacing between the table cells and its borders. The <table> tag will use cell padding and cell spacing attributes which they use it for the web pages but it will not be supported in Html5 versions, so on behalf of that will use the CSS properties like padding and border-spacing attributes in the web pages. So it is kind of a browser compatibility issue based on the runnable environment of the user.
  • When we use the CSS padding property it has many things to view the web pages more sophisticated we use the padding property for each side of the table cells, not only the single padding property we will use multiple different sets of padding properties applied for each side of table cells. We can apply the two different set of methods will follow the different sides of the elements.
  • We use padding types like padding-top,padding-bottom,padding-left, and padding-right properties is one of the methods will use it for the padding styles in CSS attributes. Another method is the same as the previous method but here short-hand property will be used for the settings in the padding types compare to the first method it is quicker and it needs very fewer codes when compared to the first method then the rest of the things are same as the previous method.
  • We don’t provide any specific values for all the sides of the CSS elements, we can assign the values with numeric one, only one value is applied through all the sides of the CSS elements. If there are multiple values one is assigned for the top and bottom paddings for first values and another one is assigned for left and right paddings. I suppose three values, first is set to the top padding, left and right paddings are set to the second and final value is assigned to the bottom side paddings.
