What is difference in cellpacing and cellpadding in table tag used in html?
Hi deepti_charolkar,
If you are using cellpadding then the size of the cells will be increased. If you are using cellspacing then only the outside of the cells will be increased not the inside of the cell.
Suppose if you give the bgcolor for the particular cell. If you using cellpadding=5 then the size of colored cell will be increased. But if you using cellspacing=5 then only the outside of the colored cell have some space not the inner side.
In my above explanation cells means columns.

cellspacing means amount of space between cells in a table.cellpadding means amount of space between border of the cell and the contents of the cell.
Hi,
CELLPADDING refers to the inner margins of free space that each cell of a table has as its "padded" border.
CELLSPACING, on the other hand, refers to how space is left between each cell wall in a table. If you want no spaces at all, you MUST set CELLSPACING="0", otherwise the default is CELLSPACING="1", even if you don't even mention CELLSPACING
Thanks,
