No more cellspacing, roll on border-collapse!

Confused as to why applying a css margin:0px and padding:0px doesn't remove the gaps between cells in tables? You need border-collapse.

The cellpadding and cellspacing attributes are not deprecated in HTML 4 (and not even in XHTML 1.1), however, looking to the future I like to use CSS where possible.

The following css demonstrates how to remove the gaps on all tables:

TABLE {
  border-collapse: collapse;
}
