Attributes for <TABLE ...>
HSPACE = integer
VSPACE = integer

HSPACE and VSPACE indicate the amount of horizontal and vertical space to put between the table and surrounding text. They must be used in conjunction with ALIGN=LEFT or ALIGN=RIGHT. These attributes are only recognized by Netscape.

illustration of HSPACE HSPACE sets the amount of horizontal space between the table and surrounding text. The following examples demonstrate HSPACE when it is absent, when it is set to 10, and when it is set to 50.

this code produces this 

<TABLE BORDER ALIGN=LEFT>

illustration of VSPACE VSPACE sets the amount of vertical space between the table and surrounding text. VSPACE can be confusing because the space below the table can't break in the middle of a line. The space below the table will almost never be the actual value of VSPACE, it will usually be a little more. The following examples demonstrate HSPACE when it is absent, when it is set to 10, and when it is set to 50.
