Ive been fiddleing with dreamweaver for ages and it seems that you can not put two tables next to each other ? Like two portrait tables is this possible ... It must be ! What am i doing wrong?
Why do that? Just add another column. The only way to get two actual tables next to eachother is if you did a table with two columns and then put a table into each column
Yes you are doing wrong! When it comes to inserting tables don't think of putting tables side-by-side. Insert main table with one row and three columns with desired width in pixel. There is no need to set the height. Set the main table border to "0". Now you have three columns table. Insert your first table in to first coloumn with its border set to "1" pixel and width set to "100%". Copy the same table and paste it in third column. Check the output in browser. you will see two tables side-by-side with some gap in between. The main table boarder can't be seen since its border set to "0". The gap between tables can be set by fixing the <td> height to desired pixels. The html code for the above description as follows: <!--this is first table width set to 800pixels and border set to "0" pixel --> <table width="800" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <!--this is first table inside main table and its width set to 100% and its border set to "1"pixel --> <td><table width="100%" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> </table></td> <!--this is blank column between two tables and it width can be set to pixel two adjust the gap--> <td> </td> <!--this is second table inside main table and its width set to 100% and its border set to "1"pixel --> <td><table width="100%" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> </table> Copy the above and insert between <body>........</body> tags and check it in browser.
No i know how to make it look like i have 2 tables next two each other... But i have been told that internet explorer loads everything in a table before loading the table so if my page is one big table it will take a while to show, where as if it is a couple of tables it will look as if it is loading faster ? Are you sure there is no way to put two seperate tables next to each other?
