Hi all,

Mea culpa in advance. Using tables for presentation.

Is it possible to get a true table cellpadding=0 in Netscape 6 with a
valid 4.01 trans DTD?

Here are two samples. The only difference is in the DTD. I am guessing
that the DTD with 4.0 is not recognized and it has defaulted to a more
forgiving mode, as the cellpadding will also run to an absolute zero if
the DTD is absent.

(cellpadding is not zero, DTD 4.01 trans)

(cellpadding is zero, DTD 4.0 trans)

many thanks,
