[Kader Irchad Barry <kaderb777@xxxxxxxxx>]

I agree with you.
In fact, I think it would be nice to complete the ability to create custom
forms, by giving the possibility to edit its css styles in a separate file.
This way, we could have a more complete control on the look-and-feel of the
forms.
Adding cellspadding style in the td tags (<td style="cellpadding:0px" ...>)
didn't work for me, and I did not look more forward to solve this problem,
guessing that the problem came from the management of the style sheets.
Do you think developers can have a look at it more closely? It could be
nice to give this ability in order to complete the creation of customized
forms.
