Cell Padding – specifies the amount of spacing between the content and the cell edge (wall)
Cell Spacing – specifies the amount of spacing between each table cell, not including the border
Table Width – specifies the width of the table in pixels or as a percentage of the browser window. For precise
layout of text and images, it is recommended that you specify tables in pixels.
Nested tables: When creating nested tables, i.e. table(s) within table(s), designate specific pixels on the
outside table. 700 is one standard. Another option is to the outside table at 100%.
For tables inside main table percentages are generally used rather than pixels.
Border thickness: specifies the width of the table border. A border of “0” means the lines will appear invisible.
Background Color of Table, Cell or Border:
Select the entire table or a cell and click the Background color or Border button in the Property Inspector.
Split/Merge Cells: You can split (divide the selected cell) or merge (unify selected cells) by selecting the
appropriate cell(s) and clicking either the split or merge icon in the properties inspector.
Inserting Images
It is recommended that your image be the size you want it to appear on your Web page, rather than enlarging or
shrinking the image in your HTML editor. You should set the image resolution to 72 dpi (close to standard
computer display resolution) to hold down image file size. Photoshop can help you do this (use the “Save
Images for the Web” option).
