Table Alignment

[Crewman]

Hello all,

I have a relatively simple question. How do you code tables to be next to each other.
I've been trying to figure it, though when I try it will go above or under the table. Using the page alignment will work but has an odd end result and wont share the same verticle lines. Meaning when that table is expanded down it moves down the other table.

So in short can someone tell me how to have tables next to each other without messing with the other tables.

-Thanks Crewman.

The problem with simply trying to align two tables next to each other is the variable browser behaviour. The majority of browsers will, if the total width of your tables is even close to 100% of the window width, split them onto two separate lines.

Therefore, the easy fix is to nest those tables within another table.

<table><tr><td>
<table><tr><td>This is your first table</td></tr></table>
</td><td>
<table><tr><td>This is your second table</td></tr></table>
</td></tr></table>

Then, if you want the tops of the tables to align with each other, then you simply add "valign='top'" to your outer tr tag. If you want the middles of the tables to align, you valign the row to middle, etc.
