Gee, that's a new one to me! Is <col> a HTML 4 tag? I've never come across
it. Then again: haven't worked with tables in a while.
Thanks, I'll give it a try!

I dont think adding padding to the table itself is going to be
reliable - as youve found out :)
I'd say that what you want to do is add padding to the cell/s of the
table.
If you want to add padding to one column of the table (in your cae
the left column), apply a style to a col tag [1] like this:
<style type="text/css">
.1st-column {padding-left:25px}
</style>
<table border="1">
<col class="1st-column">
<col>
<col>
<tr>
<td>blah blah blah</td>
<td>blah blah blah</td>
<td>blah blah blah</td>
</tr>
</table>
