Hi! I posted before asking basically this same question, but I posted my code without cellpadding in it, so I probably looked like a moron asking what I was doing wrong with cellpadding when it wasn't in my code. Anyway. . . . smile.gif

I want there to be some space between my text and the edge of the tan box. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Here's the URL: http://www.freewebs.com/pixelsnponies/index.htm
And here's the code:

'cellpadding' is an attribute for TABlE, not for TD, and it will affact all cells and all sides of them.
http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/tables/table.html

If you want more control you'd better use CSS 'padding' instead. Then you can pad just one site of one cell, should you want to.
http://htmlhelp.com/reference/css/box/padding.html

The validator tells you things like when you use an attribute in the wrong place.
CODE
Line 34, character 59:
... h=80% valign=top cellpadding=10><center><font size="3" face= ...
                                 ^Error: there is no attribute CELLPADDING for this element (in this HTML version)

http://www.htmlhelp.com/cgi-bin/validate.c...s&input=yes

There are some other issues too. For example you should quote many if the values you use. For the sake of simplicity it's best to quote them all.
CODE
Line 14, character 51:
... ><TD bgcolor=#A85045 width=20% valign=top>
                                 ^Error: an attribute value must be quoted if it contains any character other than letters (A-Za-z), digits, hyphens, and periods; use quotes if in doubt
