Table cellspacing with CSS

hey, is it possible to add spacing between the cells?

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
 <head>
  <meta charset="utf-8" />
  <title>test</title>
  <style>
   #wrap {
    display: table-row;
    /* there is no also cellspacing in CSS afaik :( */
   }
   #wrap div {
    display: table-cell;
    /* margin: 40px; doesn't work for table-cell :( */
    /* border: 30px solid transparent; works but it's as good as adding padding */
    /* border: 30px solid white; works but the page background is invisible */

    /* decoration: */
    background-color: green;
    padding: 20px;
   }
  </style>
 </head>
 <body>
  <!-- don't touch the markup -->
  <div id="wrap">
   <div>text1</div>
   <div>text2</div>
  </div>
 </body>
</html>

+3 A:

Use margin property:

#wrap div {
background-color:green;
float:left;
margin:10px;
padding:20px;
}

If this is not exactly what you want to achieve, please let me know so that I can help.

Edit: Another approach is to do this:

#wrap {
border-spacing:20px;
display:inline-table;
}

but note that border-spacing is not fully supported on all browsers (IE6 & IE7 does not support it).

i liked your first solution with "border-spacing" better because float will drive me into the clear hell. too bad there is no "border-spacing-left"
