Did you try setting the padding of cells to zero?

No, it should not affect cellpadding in any way. It sets the padding of the
table element to zero, and it's normally zero anyway.
To set the padding of cells to zero, use
th, td { padding: 0; }
If you have a caption element in the table, you might want to add
caption { padding: 0; }
It's generally not a good idea to set cell padding to zero, though, at least
if you have a genuine data table. More often, you would want to set
_vertical_ padding to zero but horizontal padding so that cell contents does
not hit the cell edge. Example:
th, td { padding: 0 0.2em; }
