DeamWeaver Question.. Tables

How on earth do I get two tables beside eachother? I have been trying all day. Any help would be great;)

i think this one actually belongs in the web development section

___________________

create your first table and make sure that it is sized to 50%. Then, select the table and then go to the properties bar at the bottom of the page and set the "align" property to [left]. Now, create your new table and then it should place it right beside your first table.

tables? why?

If what solow said didn't work, try this:

in your first table tag:

Code:

<table style="width: 50%; float: left;">

in your second table tag:

Code:

<table style="width: 50%; float: right;">

if it still doesn't work, try changing 50% to 49% or something.

Easy answer...

Say Both tables will Equal 800 pixels

first create a table with a width of 800 pixels.
Next split the table into two Columns each side 400 pixels.
(400 + 400 = 800)

Next, in the left section of the table Create a new table with the size of 400 (or which ever side you want). Then on the other side Create the an New Table you want.

Table inside a Table is fine. alot of sites do this method.

Hope this method helps out.

Just so you guys know, tables are the most bulky code for internet browsers to download and decode. If you are using tables to make a layout, which I strongly reccomend you don't, then just use one. God forbid you should use three, with two of them embedded. Embedded tables = 300% increase in load time.

I would suggest using <DIV> tags. There are many tutorials around the internet. Try HTMLgoodies.com, or search Google.

If you really want to use tables, just use this code:

<TABLE WIDTH="100%" BORDER="?" CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="5">
<TR><TD WIDTH="50%">Content</TD><TD WIDTH="50%">Content</TD></TR>
</TABLE>

This way you only use one table and the cellpadding allows for the space between columns.

Hope I helped.
