this is the url of the layout i'm working on:
http://www.boomspeed.com/prettybaby/green.html
the left big table is composed of 10 little tables (the dark ones and the light ones between them). each dark one goes with a light one (set). how can i space each set apart?

Hi

It depends HOW you want to space them apart.

You could create another 5 small cells so that erach "set" has three.

You could put a transparent .gif in there to create vertical space.

You could increase your cell spacing, padding or both.

o ok thx :) but how would i do the transparent.gif?

Have a look at this - yeah I know it says you shouldn't do it but it works and I really shouldn't use my oven either when I have a modern microwave -- tsk.

As I've learned more and more CSS, I try and move away from using transparent images and use CSS to do all my spacing...

just a thought

Yeah - i'm going that way too but i still find them useful.

Also - when I design layouts in Fireworks the html it creates often uses them.
