CMS Formatting Tables (And a potential bug)
 

Summary question: How can I have more fine control over tables inserted into CMS articles? In particular, I'm referring to the padding around the text, as well as the borders.

Longer detail:

I'm using my VBulletin CMS for a baseball site, and one of our regular features is daily box scores. Due to the rather clunky editing interface on Macs, I use an external HTML editor to make the tables (KompoZer), and then copy and paste the html into the message.

This works well for most things, but the particular exception is the padding on the tables. Due to the size of the box scores, I'd like the padding as small as possible. KompoZer can do that, but it gets overridden somewhere in the VBulletin styles. I don't know where. (I'll admit to not being an HTML or CSS expert...I would be one of those people occasionally derided as 'the bulk of users'.) So where can I control this, if at all?

This is what the box scores currently look like: http://www.sfdugout.com/site/content...ugusta-Walkoff

Interesting possible bug: At one point on one of these notebooks, I left an orphaned
tag near the top. The result was this: http://www.sfdugout.com/site/content...h-Walks-It-Off

The tables are pretty much formatted as I intended (though the colors are off, since I'd left the cell colors for some cells to be inherited from the background). However, obviously, VBulletin's grid layout got messed up by this.

Of note, even when the orphaned </div> tag is deleted from the message body, the layout remains broken. (The example above has the tag deleted in an attempt to 'fix' this.) This might be a bug, but I'll post it later in those forums.

Any help would be appreciated</div>
