depending on how wide you want it you can also use

or   either side.

no matter how you do it, nested tables is about the only way you can get a similar result for all browsers (new and old) unless you make different style sheets per browser version and even then some ver5 and 6 have issues.

Just remember no one is going to be viewing your site with two different browsers at the same time so they wont know if it's slighty different

Don't do it with nested tables, that'll be bad coding and you'll end up in the padded cell!

There's no way to do this in html so you'll have to use CSS. Just create a class for your padded cell (Ha!!!), define some padding for it in your stylesheet, and apply the class to the cells you want to be padded. ANother way would be to enclose your cell contents in a div that has the padding applied to it - that's what I tend to do but I'm not sure if there's an advantage one way or the other.
