Controlling table row margins

[Ize]

Is there any way to control the margins between table rows?

Look at this table for instance; http://www.whatstyle.net/bla/table-margin.html

I know I can collapse everything by setting border-collapse to "collapse", but let's say I want some spacing between rows, to let the green table backgroundcolor show through, but I do not want the table cells to have any spacing between them.

In order words, I want this table to look like this: http://www.whatstyle.net/bla/table-margin.jpg

How would I achieve such a layout?

You'd probably be better doing that by collapsing the border's and then applying border colours...

table {
	width: 400px;
	border: 2px green solid;
	border-collapse: collapse;
}
tr {
	background: skyblue;
}
th {
	text-align: left;
}
td,th {
	padding: 1em;
}
td {
	border-top: 2px green solid;
}
