Cellspacing can get a bit tricky, especially with my favorite browser IE. This is the formula I use for your problem. The correct replacement for cellspacing is border-spacing. Hope this points yo in the right direction.

table {
border-collapse: separate;
border-spacing: 10px;
*border-collapse: expressopm('separate', cellspacing ='10px');
}

*border-collapse: expression('separate', cellspacing ='10px'); <-- for ie6 and ie7
On vb you really do not need to support anymore...

Using the <td> and setting the padding will work in many cases.
