Tables Help

[crapshooter]

I am redesigning a website and am having trouble with one aspect in tables. If I design one table to be at the top of the page and then want another to follow below, I can't get the second to line up below, it is placed to the right of the first table. I tried nesting the tables and I still have the same problem. I guess the thing that I want is to be able to have a simple carriage return to move the second table below the first. You can look at the site without the carriage return and see what I am talking about.

Thanks for any help in advance.......

Crapshooter,

If you close the first table and ad between 6 to 8 line breaks ("<br />") that should move the second table just below the first. You will have to experiment with the number of line breaks required to make the 2 table match up but it looks like about 8 should do it. When you close the first table before the starting of the second be sure you get rid of the close table tag at the bottom of the page as it will no longer be needed.

Hope This Helped

Crapshooter,

Another thing you can try is the seldom-referenced <BR CLEAR=ALL> tag. It's a deprecated tag according to HTML4 and the W3C, but it works WONDERS on misbehaving tables!

Good luck,

Jim

Good thought Jim,

I seldom if ever use any of the <br> tags besides the basic line break, will have to rethink that as if it works 1 tag takes the place of a whole bunch of line breaks.
I didn't think the <br> tags had been deprecated by HTML 4 though, so if not under XML 1.0 the use would be <br clear="all" /> as we all might as well get used to closing all tags, for the upcoming standard.

Thanks for the replies, I now have it fixed. I ended up putting in a blank cell and nesting the table in that. Check it out... http://add-urls.com/home.html
Maybe in a week or so, I can get everything all sorted out.
Thanks again.....
