The property is read/write
for all objects except the following, for which it is read-only:
currentStyle.
The property has no default value. The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) attribute is
not inherited.
Remarks
The length values specify the distance that separates adjoining cell borders.
If one length is specified, it represents both the horizontal and vertical spacing.
If two are specified, the first represents the horizontal spacing,
the second the vertical spacing. Negative lengths are ignored.
The distance between the table border and the borders of the cells
on the edge of the table is the
padding
of the table for that side, plus the relevant
border-spacing distance.
For example, on the right side the distance is
padding-right
plus the horizontal border-spacing.
