You should be able to do it with:

.maintable {
    border-collapse: collapse;
    ....
}

Cheeky, out of curiousity, how familiar are you with css and the dom? I'm guessing self-learnt. How many tutorials have you done? I mean you seem to come up with these problems too frequently. This is one of those bordering on "go google it" responses: 'cos typing "cellspacing cellpadding css" in yahoo returned a first result of:
http://forums.devshed.com/t43178/s7d...8dca1bdef.html
which is exactly what you asked I would think.

What gets me by in almost EVERYTHING I ever do with css and html and javascript is:
css property reference (all the styles stuff)
dom properties reference (all the html stuff)
There was some website posted here a while ago with a link to a place where you could print it all out and stick it on your wall. I 'think' this is the one, seems to have evolved a bit. http://www.visibone.com/ Every time you need to look up something, it's basically ALL there. Believe me, it will save you a lot of time asking other people. Not trying to hack you down, just trying to point out you can save yourself a lot of time by having the references and just going through the list when you need something. You might not know what you're looking for but when you go through the properties list you find it very easily. Or you could have a reference list like: http://www.blooberry.com/indexdot/css/propindex/all.htm .

I found some Windows Help files years ago, that I use for HTML & CSS references... can be found on www.htmlhelp.com

I know enough css to get me through the day and learn a little more every day, i dont know what dom is.

I could just use <table cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0'> but thought that it might be better doing it in css, don't have time to go learn css so i posted here

I mean you seem to come up with these problems too frequently

And you mean what by that?

That you would be a much better developer if you had the reference material in front of you. You don't need to know much css to find out those properties, you just get a list of the properties and look it up, lo and behold it's all there, no hidden anythings that everyone else knows that you don't. It's the same for every programming task. dom = document object model which is basically the hierarchical structure of everything in webpages. You can use javascript to manipulate the dom easily, all you need is the list of properties for the document object model and related functions, and a list of css properties that can be manipulated. All to do with reference. Then the rest is google-able - e.g. this problem.
