Sidney,

Here is a good, updated article on tables and how to use/style them according to newer specifications (including the fact that the "cellspacing" attribute is now deprecated): http://css-tricks.com/complete-guide-table-element/

To use CSS, though, you'll just target the specific elements of your table, the same as you would any other element from your HTML. Target the th, the td, give classes and/or IDs; whatever you need to apply your styles.

Hope this helps!

Erik
