this is a very basic question..

I have 2 tables that i need to put right next to each other. every thing i try will not work. right now they are like this:

********
*||||||*
*||||||*
********
*******
*|||||*
*|||||*
*******
I need them like this:

***************
*||||||**|||||*
*||||||**|||||*
***************

thanks,
ss

make a table with 1 row and 2 columns. put each of your tables in one of the table cells (they call this nested tables)

or you can use CSS on the first table: style="float:left;"

the nesting might work better for you cause floating has some quirks

Here is an html example I made to show how to use 3 tables to put 2 into alignment. You need to have one table containing the 2 other tables, I don't think you can do it any other way with straight html.

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>

<TITLE></TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>

<table bgcolor="#000000" width="300" height="200" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td>
	<table bgcolor="#FF8040" width="150" height="75">
        <tr>
        <td>One</td>
        </tr>
        </table>
</td>
<td>        
        <table bgcolor="#FF0080" width="150" height="75">
        <tr>
        <td>Two</td>
        </tr>
        </table>

</td>
</tr>
<table>

</body>
</html>

Remember guys you can use the [ code ] command (without the spaces) to put a code box straight into your posts which also preserves formatting!
