Sorry for my ignorance, but I cannot figure out why cellpadding is not working on my site. I've done it like many tutorials have said, but it is not producing what I want. I want the text in the tan box to not touch the side of the box. I thought I would use cellpadding, but maybe i'm wrong. Could I be putting it in the wrong place? Also, can I use percents for cellpadding?
My site is: http://www.freewebs.com/pixelsnponies/index.htm
