I do all my HTML coding by hand, except tables, which I hate :)
I want the table "Recommended premium gay sites" and "Gay reality porn sites" at http://www.ebony-xxx-sites.com/table.html to be aligned next to eachother..

Can someone please help me out, I'm really stuck.

TIA :)

Nest your tables inside of another table.

Like this.
<table>
<tr>
<td>LEFT SIDE TABLE GOES HERE</td>
<td>RIGHT SIDE TABLE GOES HERE</td>
</tr>
</table>

Hi Cleo, thx for the reply :)

I tried doing what you said but the table still looks the same |banghead|

I'm gonna check if Amazon has a book "Tables for Dummies" |newbie|

Wouldn't it be easier to download a simple WYSIWYG html editor so that you could see what you are doing? They have simple Mac ones for free so I know there must be ones for PCs.

Cleo, I have a WYSIWYG html editor but I just can't seem to get the table thing working :(

I'll do a search on Google for another editor

You may have a row and column that is incorrect or maybe even an unclosed tag someplace then.

Try plugging your info into this nested table

<table width="725" border="0" cellspacing="3" cellpadding="3" align="center">
<tr>
<td><table width="350" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="3">
<tr>
<td align="center">This is your first nested table</td>
</tr>
</table></td>
<td><table width="350" border="0" cellspacing="3" cellpadding="3">
<tr>
<td align="center">This is your second nested table</td>
</tr>
</table></td>
</tr>
</table>


Fyi, I looked at your source code, and I really recommend that you not use percentages to determine table width. Use pixels. You will have better results with tables in all browsers, monitor sizes, etc, the more exact you are.

You're trying too hard - too many tables inside of other tables - keep it simple:

Wow! DirtyJumbo,

I checked out your source and it looks like you are making it much harder than it is using all those table tags.


Not real sure if this is what you are looking for but here is basicly what cleo was suggesting:
