Have loocked around for a while. Haven't found a way to open a link from one table into another on the same page. Is there an easy way to do this?.

You can't open an .html file in a table.

Jona is right.
You may want to look into implementing "IFRAMES" that you can put ina table at any given point with any given co-ordinates,and you can load web pages in them and you can have as many of themon a page....

Another option would be to use server side code to write the files in as can be seen here: http://www.infinitypages.com/research/divinclude.php

The proper answer is that you shouldn't do that even if you could.From the HTML 4.01 Spec. (http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/tables.html#h-11.1)
Tables should not be used purely as a means to layout document content as this may present problems when rendering to non-visual media. Additionally, when used with graphics, these tables may force users to scroll horizontally to view a table designed on a system with a larger display. To minimize these problems, authors should use style sheets to control layout rather than tables.

Charles, do you think that a person asking how to open a HTML page in a table cell really cares about the "proper" way of doing things, as long as things get displayed on his browser?
