table cell spacing

am 29.01.2008 01:27:59 von bxtrap01

this is the page i'm working on
http://1614-douglas-road.com/spectrum.html

i want to get the generous space between the images in the table preferably
without borders
so i have been using cellpadding and/or cellspacing
the picture titles can be 2 lines, 'hammered small', so they seem to need
their own row to be
centered under the pic and the same padding/spacing as the row with the
images, so they line up

what i'm trying to do is have similar spacing to the way the page goes now,
but get the pic titles
closer to the actual pics

have tried all kinds of colspan, , separate tables for each row, etc
but getting nowhere fast

also not sure why table is not centering on page

any suggestions would be appreciated
bob

you can use this code for centering with css

body {
margin:50px 0px; padding:0px;
text-align:center;
}

#Content {
width:500px;
margin:0px auto;
text-align:left;
padding:15px;
border:1px dashed #333;
background-color:#eee;
}
(source:http://bluerobot.com/web/css/center1.html)

and have you tried using padding yet?

this took me less than five minutes so i went the extra mile. i used
code from blue robot and css listamatic since i thought it would be
better if you used lists for the images you had.

"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

body {
margin:50px 0px; padding:0px;
text-align:center;
}

#Content {
width:500px;
margin:0px auto;
text-align:left;
padding:15px;
border:1px dashed #333;
background-color:#eee;
}

ul#navlist
{
margin-left: 0;
padding-left: 0;
white-space: nowrap;
}

#navlist li
{
display: inline;
list-style-type: none;
}

#navlist a { padding: 3px 10px; }

#navlist a:link, #navlist a:visited
{
color: #fff;
background-color: #036;
text-decoration: none;
}

#navlist a:hover
{
color: #fff;
background-color: #369;
text-decoration: none;
}

ul>li{
padding:0 0 0 100px;
}

How does boasting about the small amount of time you spent demonstrate
that you made any "extra" effort? Or is this some droll humor?

XHTML is pointless. Stay with HTML 4.01, but use strict:
