added HTML page ... help with HTML 'version' please

I'm making some HTML pages for our site and I'm running into a problem with some HTML works and some doesn't. I'm making a table which isn't a problem, but some things just don't want to work.

Example below ...

Code:

<table border="1" cellpadding="10">
<tr>
<td align="left">Col 1</td><td>Col 2</td><td>Col 3</td>
</tr>
</table>

Simple, but of the few things I've done so far, cellpadding or align haven't worked. This is stuff right off of w3schools. Is there a version of html somewhere that I can change or update, or even somewhere to find out what works and what doesn't would help.

Thanks.

It appears that you're doing everything pretty much right. You're ending the tags correctly. Here, try this (I'm making a table for my forum right now at this moment anyway, lol) :

Code:

<table border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="5" width="100%">
<tr><td>BLA TITLE1</td> <td>BLA TITLE2</td> <td>BLA TITLE3</td> <td>BLA TITLE4</td></tr>
<tr><td>BLA 1</td> <td>BLA 2</td> <td>BLA 3</td> <td>BLA 4</td></tr>
</table>

That will support both your cell padding and spacing at a perfect setting. You can continue on the table so forth and so on.
Hope that helps.

Rok, thank you very much. That gave me the space that I wanted in the table, but just so you know, the cellpadding and cellspacing had next to nothing to do with it. The width is the part that did it. But that's the kind of help that I needed.

Thank you!

Haha, it's no problem.
