Border collapse and cellspacing

Can cellspacing be dropped for CSS' border-collapse?

Hi,

Can HTML's TABLE property CELLSPACING be dropped for CSS' border-collapse or should one adopt both for the sake of browser backward compatibility?

You can drop it if you want to replace cellspacing="0". In that case you can use border-collapse:collapse in your CSS and set the border-width to 0 on the cells. There is a CSS property called border-spacing which can completely replace the cellspacing attribute, but IE as of yet doesn't support it.
