Question

• I autoformat a GridView in ASP.NET.

• It looks nice but the headers all run together like this:

  idfirstNamelastNameage

• I set CellPadding=’5′ but it does nothing.

How can I set the cell padding of the headers and all cells?

Thanks Andrew, I fixed it with this. Works in Firefox and Explorer 7:

.gridview2 tr td {     padding: 5px;     border: 1px solid #ddd; } .gridview2 tr th {     padding: 5px; }

You should set a cssclass and use css to control it. The only property of a table you cant fully control cross browser with css is cellspacing.

.myTableClass tr th {     padding: 5px; }
