I suggest: Learn XHTML and CSS and ditch the tables :D.

Anyhoo, you missed two closing </tr> tags, and by default things middle align in tables I believe, so I added valign="top" to the <td>'s that contained your text.

<table border="1" bordercolor="#0000FF" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100" height="600" align="left">
<tr>
<td valign="top">
Menu Bar
</td>
</tr>
</table>

<table border="1" bordercolor="#0000FF" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="845" Height="600" align="right">
<tr>
<td valign="top">
Hello welcome
</td>
</tr>
</table>

I also reduced the width of the table, so it wouldn't cause a horizontal scrollbar.
