I am trying to do this table command with two of these tables exactly as it is written side by side, but no matter what I try the two tables wind up one on top of the other and not side by side like I am wanting. Can someone please help me here.

<TABLE BORDER=3 width=340 CELLSPACING=3 CELLPADDING=3>

<TR>

<TD ROWSPAN="2" ALIGN=center WIDTH="200">How about this?</TD>
<TD ALIGN=center WIDTH="200">Cell</TD>
</TR>

<TR>
<TD ALIGN=center WIDTH="200">Cell</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>

use CSS, give them both a float: left style, but if the browser gets resized smaller they are always going to end up that way, unless you use relative widths

If you don't want to use CSS, use another table to contain the first two.


<table>
<tr>
<td>
Insert table 1 here
</td>

<td>
Insert table 2 here
</td>
</tr>
</table>


This method is frowned upon as CSS is the better way to go.

no reason not to use CSS, even if you keep the tables you can still just place an inline style in them and that will make the two tables side by side, no point in added even further tables!
