It does tell you in the spec what styles work for what elements. I
really recommend familiarizing yourself with the spec, if only
because what works/doesn't work in browsers doesn't necessarily have
anything to do with what is SUPPOSED to work or what might work in
other browsers, and/or in the future.
um.
cellpadding/cellspacing: I still do it the old fashioned way (table
attribute). Netscape doesn't do well with CSS padding. Width: I do
that also as a table attribute.
Font? try setting a class and see how it works. you can define
fonts in the body, in paragraphs, in td's... I tend NOT to apply
styles to tables (as opposed to other elements). I don't know if
it's technically allowed, but I think I've had better luck applying
styles to <P>s <body>, etc.
Inheritance doesn't always work right in the browsers.
it's trial & error, baby.
(or you could look at one of those CSS support charts if you're so
inclined...url?)
