Table Border and Padding Issue

When I apply border-collapse: collapse ; to table, padding stops working, and when remove border-collapse: collapse; padding started working but then border stops working in the table. I want to apply bottom border to my table row, and also apply padding to my table. how to do it? https://codepen.io/hamzacodepen951/pen/vYbrYmb

a table can not have padding and maintain the borders in case of collapse. structure does not allow it. alternativly wrap the table in a div and use the div's padding.

ok thanks can we also not apply padding and margin directly to table row?

when you use padding or margin a tr, or padding on the table, it will break the border-structure an other option is to use a pseudo element on the tr to create a border

I want to have a space between two rows .table-row :first-child{ padding-top: var(--space-small); } I did like this, is that fine?

don't know what you actually want as an end result. you could also use grid/subgrid: https://codepen.io/MarkBoots/pen/oNmygBv let me know if you solved the question. I will be removing the pen later
