Table: Padding
Cell padding specifies the space between the cell content and its borders. If you do not specify a padding, the table cells will be displayed without padding. To set the padding, use the CSS padding property in the <style> element:
td { padding: 15px; }
| Padding of 5 pixels: |
Padding of 15 pixels: |

Smith |

I had used 5p and 15p as the class names for the td tag. They did not work. I found out that class names cannot start with a number. So I changed the names to "five" and "fifteen" and everything worked.
