HTML table needs spacing between columns, not rows

The better approach uses Shredder’s css rule: padding: 0 15px 0 15px
only instead of inline css, define a css rule that applies to all tds.
Do This by using a style tag in your page:

<style type="text/css">
  td {
    padding: 0 15px;
  }
</style>

or give the table a class like “paddingBetweenCols” and in the site css use

.paddingBetweenCols td {
  padding: 0 15px;
}

The site css approach defines a central rule that can be reused by all pages.

If your doing to use the site css approach, it would be best to define a class like above and apply the padding to the class…unless you want all td’s on the entire site to have the same rule applied.
