• Greetings,
    I’ve got a couple of blogs, and I’ve been trying to put tables within my posts for quite some time. Finally, I figured out how to make it work, but the text is too close to the table when it is aligned left. I’ve tried all the HTML tags I know to put some space in there, but none work. Could you please visit one of my sites (http://abortion.capitolannex.com), look at the first post there (it has a table) and tell me what I can do to get some space between the table and tex?

  • That url scares me… What you might try is looking at your style sheet and see about adding some margins or padding for your <p> tags.

    The site is just news about court cases related to abortion. Sorry for the scare. However, I have no idea what you mean by adding margins for <p> tags, or how to do so.

    You can also look at http://www.capitolannex.com, as a couple tables are used there as well.

    oh sorry – meant in your CSS style sheet.

    Man, that site takes ages to download/display… mainly waiting for some stuff from wondir.com or whatever. So many things on ONE page that basically you don’t see anything 🙂

    OK, I don’t see any tables anywhere. Can you just give a link to that specific single post, so we don’t need to wait minutes (on high speed cable connection!) for the site?

    And to your question: margins, padding and other similar things are added to the stylesheet.
    e.g.
    table {
    margin-right: 7px;
    border: solid 2px red;
    }

    For some mysterious reason you have there 2 tables (why?) but adding this to your stylesheet should work:
    table {
    margin-right: 7px;
    }

    You can play with that 7px value as you wish.

    One thing I don’t understand, though.
    If you ask for help and a solution is offered WHY don’t you try it before posting back…?

    Because this is 100% greek to me. Where in the sylesheet do I put this? just anywhere?

    look in your style sheet and see if you already have a “table” in there. If you do, add the one line. If you don’t, use what moshu suggested and add it any old place.
