In a table attributes like cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" are really necessary? I mean, do browsers automatically assign the value 0 if these attributes are not present?
Thanks!

I can't remember what all the defaults are, but they are not all zero.

No, because you can control nearly all of them with CSS! border="x" maps directly to table { border: x } and cellpadding="x" maps to th,td { padding: x }. The only slightly tricky one is cellspacing="x". Unfortunately IE doesn't support the CSS equivalent, unless you want cellspacing="0", in which case you can do table { border-collapse: collapse; }.
