HTML <table> cellspacing Attribute

The cellspacing attribute in HTML is used to define the space between cells in a table. It controls the amount of space, in pixels, between the table cells. This spacing can make the table's content more readable by adding extra room between cells.

However, it's important to note that the cellspacing attribute is not supported in HTML5, and modern developers usually use CSS to manage the space between cells.

Note: The <table> cellspacing Attribute is not supported by HTML 5.

Syntax:

<table cellspacing="pixels">

Attribute Values:

While the cellspacing attribute was once a common way to control the space between table cells in HTML, it is no longer supported in HTML5. Instead, you should use CSS for this purpose, which gives you greater control and flexibility.
