You could first try changing all you table atributes to style tags.

Like this

<html>
<body>
<table style="width:952; height:952; background-color:#FFFFFF; border:1px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" >
<tr>
<td style="vertical-align:top; width:146px;">

<center><b> </b></center><br/>
<center><span style="font-size:15pt; font-weight:700px; text-decoration:underline;"></span></center>
<center> </center><br/>
<?include 'includes/featuredlist.php'; ?>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="vertical-align:top; width:283px;">

<table style="border:1px; width:33%; background-color:#FFFFFF; text-align:center;">
<tr>
<td><?include 'includes/recent_1.php'; ?></td>
</tr>
</table>
<table style="border:1px; width:33%; background-color:#FFFFFF; text-align:center;">
<tr>
<td><?include 'includes/recent_2.php'; ?></td>
</tr>
</table>
<table style="border:1px; width:33%; background-color:#FFFFFF; text-align:center;">
<tr>
<td><?include 'includes/recent_3.php'; ?></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

I also found some missing end tags and some missing <tr> tags which are needed by the table to build a row.

You should always specify what units you would like when you set a width or height;

Like 33px; or 33% dont leave it up to the browser to decied because they will all pick something different.

I hope this help and doesnt make it worst.

If you want these tables to be next to eachother just get rid of a couple of the table tags like this

<html>
<body>
<table style="width:952; height:952; background-color:#FFFFFF; border:1px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" >
<tr>
<td style="vertical-align:top; width:146px;">

<center><b> </b></center><br/>
<center><span style="font-size:15pt; font-weight:700px; text-decoration:underline;"></span></center>
<center> </center><br/>
<?include 'includes/featuredlist.php'; ?>
</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td style="vertical-align:top; width:283px;">

<table style="border:1px; width:33%; background-color:#FFFFFF; text-align:center;">
<tr>
<td><?include 'includes/recent_1.php'; ?></td>

<td><?include 'includes/recent_2.php'; ?></td>

<td><?include 'includes/recent_3.php'; ?></td>

</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

After reviewing my last post I see that I did forget to put px after a width atribute in the first line. Be sure to fix that before you use these tables.
