Styling THEAD, TFOOT, and TR

Without changing their display properties, of course,can THEAD, TFOOT, and TR be given attributes such as padding , margin and position?

These examples from here demonstrate, pretty much what you are wanting to know.

Capn, that’s an excellent article you linked. Thanks!

Those are very pretty examples. But the question I ihad in mind actually pertains to the fact that rules like:

thead{ margin-bottom:10px;}
tr {padding:10px 0;}

have NO effect.

Because it won’t allow every style :). Table elements in general are hard to style. You have to liev with that.
