HTML table trouble

My tables arent working properly. The html code says the menu.php file should be only 20% but it occupies the whole sceen which is 1000 pixels.

here is the page in question:

And the non rendered code:

I usually build sites with WYSIWYG editors but im trying to do it all by hand for once and it looks bad.

 

I know this doesn't answer your table problem but here it goes anyhow : don't use tables, use css + divs.

I use to use tables but a lot of web site layouts I see now use ONLY css + divs. I've found it works pretty well, it`ll cut down on your coding and get rid of those pesky table problems.

my 2 cents.

 

You need to use a colspan="3" in the TD's that only have one TD per TR.

 

I figured it out, NM

I was confusing my cols and rows spans thanks for the help guys

 

Yes, try to learn about css. I still learn how to move from table to CSS. Table is dead...
