[/quote] Yes that's where the problem lies. You need to understand the difference. <tr> ... </tr> specifies a row in a table. <td> ... </td> speciifes an element (or column) in a row. You have created a table with four column tags and since you have not specified a row tag, the browser assumes that all the column elements are in a single row. The correct way to have coded this would be [code] <table border="6" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td><font face="verdana">col 1 line 1</font></td> <td><font face="verdana">col 1 line 2</font></td> <td><font face="verdana">col 1 line 3</font></td> <td><font face="verdana">col 1 line 4</font></td> </tr> </table> [/code] To create a table with four rows and one column use [code] <table border="6" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td><font face="verdana">col 1 line 1</font></td></tr> <tr><td><font face="verdana">col 1 line 2</font></td></tr> <tr><td><font face="verdana">col 1 line 3</font></td></tr> <tr><td><font face="verdana">col 1 line 4</font></td></tr> </table> [/code] . -- not necessarily stoned... just beautiful.
