Hi fantasia, thanks for your suggestion.
Margin is ignored for captions.
But a white border-left seems to do the trick:
table {
/* NB */
/* IE tables don't inherit font-size */
font-size: 1em;
border: thin solid black;
}
th, td {
padding: 0.25em;
}
table caption {
caption-side: top;
/* NB *
/* padding needs extra allowance for border */
border-left: thin solid white;
padding: 0.25em;
}
Cheers
Trevor

Does your caption have a border or backgrounds? Because if not,
margin: 2px;
padding: 0.25em;
might work
