Preserved Topic: carriage return between tables (Page 1 of 1)

I have two tables that I want to be side by side? How do I prevent the second one from
going below the first?

You can wrap them into a table. This is called "nesting". So you would have...

<table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">
<tr><td>insert code for first table here</td><td>insert code for second table here</td></tr>
</table>

Additionally, you instead could ALIGN the first table left, which should cause the second one to be to the right. I'm not big on this, as varying amounts of content between the two and different resolutions can cause interesting effects.

Keep in mind that when you start nesting tables, you complicate things drastically. The browser must render the inner tables first, then works its way out.

You could also put each table into a DIV and using POSITION in your CSS to put them into the right place.

Hope this helps.
