Hi

I have a simple table: http://msifrut.com/mell.htm

I tried (just for curious) to convert it into a css based code.
I tried to use lists but my problem was that I want that every line will have another padding (for the comments line).

Any suggestions?

You need to have semantic markup. If you add classes to every <tr>, or <td> then you have access to all their properties.

I removed all of your "inline" styling... Things such as (border="2px") and/or (height="25px") are deprecated. They will not validate. You should always use CSS to define heights, widths, borders, etc... It is also much neater and preferable to use a stylesheet rather than inline styling of elements. Styling things directly on the page can tend to get complicated and very messy.
