Hello, " The width of the table is the distance from the left inner padding edge to the right inner padding edge (including the border spacing but excluding padding and border). " http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/tables.html#separated-borders I think there is an error in that sentence... otherwise "left inner padding edge" and "right inner padding edge" would need to be defined, clarified, identified. Note that "inner padding edge" is not defined anywhere. [Addendum: ... unless border-spacing is more internal than table padding... unless table padding surrounds border-spacing of external cells... but again the diagram does not show this, does not demonstrate this.] I think it should be instead " The width of the table is the distance from the left inner padding edge to the right inner padding edge (including the border spacing but excluding table border). " I also think that this diagram http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/images/tbl-spacing.png may be correct but it disservices the careful reader. It would be much better if a) the table padding area was identified separately, apart from border-spacing b) the table horizontal padding area was identified on the diagram c) if the table had a non-zero padding value We would be able to figure out more easily what that quoted sentence refers to or could mean actually. The diagram is not useful, not helpful in illustrating/identifying out what's the inner padding edge, right inner padding edge. What am I missing? regards, Gérard -- CSS 2.1 Test suite RC4 (December 10th 2010) http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/20101210/html4/toc.html Contributions to CSS 2.1 test suite http://www.gtalbot.org/BrowserBugsSection/css21testsuite/ Web authors' contributions to CSS 2.1 test suite http://www.gtalbot.org/BrowserBugsSection/css21testsuite/web-authors-contributions-css21-testsuite.html
