In some cases, I want to space the data in a table cell over a little
bit (have some white space between the left cell border and the text).
But ONLY on the left side - not at the top and bottom. If I set the
"padding", it enlarges the entire cell - I don't want that.

I generally do this by inserting several " " before the cell text
when I generate the table. This accomplishes what I want but is this
the "best" way?

One case in which the   does not work very well is when the cell
text is a "hot link" (an href anchor tag); then the  's are
underlined and it doesn't look good.

Any thoughts?

Thanks
