Topic: I set margins in a stylesheet and they are ignored?

I cannot figure out why the margins I set for a cell in a stylesheet are ignored.

The page is here http://www.theatalans.com

The margin is supposed to be in the content cell where the text is..the cell is set to class MyTD2 and in the stylesheet i have margin-left:10px set but it ignores that..Im guess it has something to do with my whole table or something..but I am not sure :\

also if I set the style for the margins in the Cell tag it messes the tables all up and makes them overlap the others.. >,<

You should use padding-left: 10px;

BTW, you can group your CSS like this:

.mytd {
padding-left: 10px;
margin: 2px;
etc
}

Yup. Margins are for space *outside* the border of the element, while padding is for space *inside* it.

OMG am I stupid. Thank you so much =D

I tried that before but I had an invisible spacer that was causing problems..just found it..lol.
