    This is probably a really really simple question...how do I have two tables on the same line that are right next to each other?

    I have this website http://www.50centconcertticket.com/

    and whenever I insert a table it just sticks it directly underneath the other table. I would like the table to be Vertically even.

    Is there some sort of properties button I need to hit to align them up right?:confused:

    Any help is appreciated

    If you use nested tables the look will probably more pleasing, however, someone recently posted code that will place two tables side by side. I was not crazy about apperence however.

    Code was:

    <table style="width: 100px; height: 100px; border: 1px solid red; float: left;"
    <tr><td></td></tr>
    </table>

    <table style="width: 100px; height: 100px; border: 1px solid blue;">
    <tr><td></td></tr>
    </table>

    Hope you can work out something to your liking.

    Try something like this:

    

<table width="100%" >
<tr> 
<td height="200" valign="top"> 
<table width="80%">
<tr>
<td height="75">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
<td> 
</td>
</tr>
</table>

    I have a blog...www.montreal-realestate.ca and I am having problems with my adsense showing up more then once on a single page. When I add it to my page, it shows up terrifically, until I try and add two or more on the same page...then it just shows up as a big blank space. Both my friend and I are both having this problem. Any idea what is wrong?

    If your working in design view, first make one big table, then put 2 tables inside them. :confused:

    Easy answer dont use tables for layout.

    Tables are for displaying tabular data.

    CSS should be used for layout.

    Tables are perfectly fine and can do the job better in some cases than CSS. This isn't a which is better thread. To answer the thread starters question, in design view you'd make a table with two cells, and put a table in each one.

    Did I miss it? Simply do one or the other of these; 
    
table {
    display: inline;
    }

table {
    float: left;
    }
    Code (markup):
    Additional style rules are dependent on specific needs not available here.

    Putting presentation markup in the html is unprofessional. We've had the standards since 1998, IE5 since 1998 (even with non-compliant support, it was usable), IE6 in 2001 (milestone), Moz/Gecko 1.3 in 2002, and Opera4 ca. ??. There is no compelling reason to continue to use presentation markup.

    cheers,

    gary
