    I've been trying to piece together a simple site, but am experiencing a problem with tables. I'm trying to place a column on the left side of the page instead of the anchor links on top. Can anyone help?

    So are you wanting it in a completely different column or something? Cause if so use a new table row(tr) and valign to the left, then do the pages and such.

    Yes, I want a total of two columns, side by side; one for the categories, and one for the listings.
    The current listings are aligned to the left...

    Do you mind putting it up for download, so I can open it in dreamweaver...no guarantees I will be able to solve it but I will give it my shot...I won't report it or anything...you can pm me the dl link...if anything I will try to get a 2nd column going so you can atleast edit it and get it going.

    I appreciate the help, but the outcome isn't exactly what I looking for.
    You're a true asset to the community though. Thanks for the effort...

    Try this.
    And then add this in your CSS to make them even in size.

    Try this out to start


    <table border="0">
    <tr>
    <td align="left" valign="top" width="200">
    menuLink1<br>
    menuLink2<br>
    menuLink3<br>
    menuLink4<br>
    menuLink5<br>​
    </td>

    <td align="left" valign="top">------Note the width here is not needed
    <p>Add your content here</p>

    </td>
    </tr>


    <tr>
    <td>&nbsp;</td> ------ To add a spacer
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    </tr>
    </table>

    Then check out the commands "rowspan", "colspan"

    Also, as you are playing with this, turn on the border. (i.e.border="1") you can see your changes
