HTML tables can adjust the padding inside the cells, and also the space between the cells.
| Col 1 | Col 2 | Col 3 |
|---|---|---|
| hello | hello | hello |
| hello | hello | hello |
| hello | hello | hello |
| Col 1 | Col 2 | Col 3 |
|---|---|---|
| hello | hello | hello |
| hello | hello | hello |

HTML Table - Cell Padding
Cell padding is the space between the cell edges and the cell content.
By default the padding is set to 0.
To add padding on table cells, use the CSS padding property:
Example
th, td
{
padding: 15px;
}
To add padding only above the content, use the padding-top property.
Add padding to the other sides with the padding-bottom, padding-left, and padding-right properties:
Example
th, td
{
padding-top: 10px;
padding-bottom: 20px;
padding-left: 30px;
padding-right: 40px;
}
HTML Table - Cell Spacing
Cell spacing is the space between each cell.
By default the space is set to 2 pixels.
To change the space between table cells, use the CSS border-spacing property on the table element:
Example
table
{
border-spacing:
30px;
}
