I thought cellpadding and cellspacing should be put there without the doublequotes, so

The default install templates have a CSS style sheet for tables td tr so if using a default template, even if customized you may have to look thru the attached CSS to find out if it's there...

I've found that removing:

Code: Select all

* {
margin:0pt;
padding:0pt;
}

... from the CMSMS's standard [screen] CSS, eliminates the cellpadding constraint.

Before relying on this as the solution, may I ask why this asterisk-code is used in the first place? Thanks,

Please keep in mind the templates and stylesheets installed by default with CMS are examples, you are not required to use them.

the default styles illustrated below are what the initial template users specified so that things were in a known state and then could be overridden with CSS.

This is not a CMS issue, it's merely a lack of understanding.
