I am building an html email in Dreamweaver...
I need to make the padding in my cell about 50px on the right side only, what would I add to this code...

<td colspan="7" rowspan="7"><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">It's highly likely that you already know which area of study appeals to you. No matter which field that may be, it's worth remembering that completing any course takes time and commitment, so you should be sure what you want to get out of it, and keep your end goal in mind.<br>
With ICS, you have access to a great range of qualifications in a variety of subjects, levels and sectors.</font></td>
<td colspan="3">

im assuming you have no css... you should really learn it, tables are old, very old...

to answer your question tho, add this :

<td style="padding-right:50px;" colspan="....

Tables for layout? Font tags? Yikes!

Thanks Hinkle.

It's just a quick html email, one page... photoshop, sliced up, brought into dreamweaver, add a few links... done.
I am in the process of learning CSS, just for the record.

For decent and fairly accurate/consistent layouts in html emails you do need to use tables as the majority of clients don't let you use margins etc. on elements (you can add them but they'll just get ignored). You can't use background images either.

Everything else can be CSS - especially the font tags!

For emails, tables are current, very current.

Kid A: Here are a couple links that can maybe help you with the email:
