Cellspacing

Cellspacing is the amount of space between cells in a table.

For example, if the HTML syntax is <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=5> the table produced will have a 5-pixel space around the entire outside of the cell, moving your next cell (or other surrounding objects) over by 5 pixels.

<table cellspacing=5>:  This table has been defined with a cellspacing of 5 pixels. As you can see, the cell has a 5-pixel "spacing" in all directions from the outside edge of cell:

<table cellspacing=20>: This table has been defined with a cellspacing of 20 pixels. As you can see, the cell has a 20-pixel "spacing" in all directions from the outside edge of cell.

Notice that cellspacing adds space between the entire cell (top, bottom, left, and right) so the text is surrounded with a "border of space." The latter example isolates the terms and offers improved readability.
