Af:table and cellspacing

Question

Hello,
I'm trying to give some style to an af:table object. My purpose is to remove the horizontal gridline and replace the vertical grid line by some cellspacing.
Unfortunately, the cellspacing argument seems not modifiable. I tried to play with border style (border-right: transparent solid 2px;) in the headerClass and styleClass of each column but in this case, the data columns are not aligned anymore with the headers.
I read somewhere on oracle website that headers size are calculated dynamically on basis of cells final size and that it is not advised to use borders in af:columns
Did anyone have to deal with this?
Thanks for your help :-)

Set the Style on the contents within the column rather than the table itself. For example:
<af:table value="#{bindings.DepartmentsView1.collectionModel}" var="row"
              rows="#{bindings.DepartmentsView1.rangeSize}"
              first="#{bindings.DepartmentsView1.rangeStart}">
  <af:column headerText="Id">
    <af:outputText value="#{row.DepartmentId}"          
                         inlineStyle="margin-left:2.0em;margin-right:2.0em;">
