That's incorrect. Although it may work in IE (since it debugs everything).

Try this instead:

Should look the same.

Download a free copy of TopStyle Light . It will teach you quite a bit about css. It is also helpful to look at other stylesheets.

Thank you both. I ended up using <div style="margin: 20px; padding=:20px;">'

I've been meaning to learn CSS, but right now I am far too busy learning advanced PHP. I'll likely pick up a book, I find it easiest to learn from them.

different browsers use padding and margin differently, so would be best to use both margin:5px; padding:5px; (adjust to suit).

if you run into problems with the display not going where it should, try wrap the table in a set of empty table tags

Sorry, I changed my answer because what I posted just didn't quite work right. It would be better to use div inside the td, I think. That's what I've done in the past, anyway. You should really learn a little bit of CSS - w3schools.com has a good tutorial.

Edit: Like this

<td><div style="margin: 5px;">......

</div></td>

Wait! I was wrong. You should be able to just apply the padding to the table cell using. Try that.

Ok thanks Megan. One problem, I have no clue how to use CSS. Does that top code go at the start of the page?

You can just use CSS to add padding to the cell individually, but that messes with the other cells in the table row (try it and see). Might be best to add margins to a div instide the table cell, or to the paragraphs.
