XHTML Column Padding Bug

Question

Try setting the padding of <td> to more than 1px, you can't.

You can only specify 0 or 1px padding for this td. But why ? It's same in both transitional and strict document types.

Answer 1

It is probably that you are not defining the unit for the padding. setting it something like 10px (in chrome at least) works fine.

Answer 2

Maybe because you're specifying the padding as 1 - no units - rather than 1px, 1em, etc.

It's fine to specify 0 without units, as 0 is the same in any unit - but not 1.

Answer 3

Thanks for the answer :)

Here is a a bit more complicated but similar question of mine, If you can look, I'll be much appreciated.
