Tables

L

Lisa

I have tried to put text next to a table and I can't seem to keep the table
in place---it keeps moving down. Is there a way to keep the table where I
want it and add text next to the table or even put an additional table with
the text next to a table without touching it? Also, if I want a table on
both sides of the page but I want them separated how can I do that??? Thank
you

Hi Lisa,

You can't put two tables in the same horizontal plain..
But you can stager them.

That said to get text to go to the right or left
Table properties>Style (button at the bottom)
(new window) Format> (button at the bottom)
Position (new window) At the top "wrapping style"
Select none (Default) Left or Right...
OK OK OK and that's it.. You might increase the padding of the table so that
the text appears further from the text... (assuming borders 0) it makes for
a nice look..

Oooops

Forgot to let you know the same can be done with pictures..
(an after thought you might be using pictures in the tables)

Sure you can put two or more tables in the same horizontal plain -

Put them in the cells of a single row table!

OK Murray,

Here is two tables in a table of 1 row.
One align=left
one align=right
http://www.xmas-i-am.com/table.htm

Are the two tables in the same horizontal plain (tops aligned)?
How do you do it?

Cleaner code and all -

<table width="90%" border="1" align="center">
<tr>
<td valign="top">
<table width="100" border="1">
<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table>
<table width="100" border="1" align="right">
<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

AND what does that look like?

Sorry -

<body>
<table width="90%" border="1" align="center">
<tr>
<td valign="top">
<table width="100" border="1" align="left">
<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table>
<table width="100" border="1" align="right">
<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>

If you really want to be sure, make the outer table have two columns, and
put a nested table in each of the two cells.

Don

Ha hahaha You found it!

So did I... But still a funky way..

CSS Float: Right or Left might be easier?

Knowledge is a good thing!

If I were going to use floats I wouldn't use tables at all! 8)

<div id="wrapper" style="width:700px; background-color:yellow;margin:50
auto; border:1px solid black; height:25px;">
<div id="LeftFloat" style="width:200px; background-color:green; float:left;
color:white;">blah</div>
<div id="RightFloat" style="width:200px; background-color:blue;
float:right;text-align:right; color:white;">blah</div>
</div>

Kool!
Web sites are more of a recreation for me. (not how I make my living)
I don't have 20+ years of experience (visited some of your sites) that you
have.
As far as that goes never will have that much experience.
But I enjoy picking up new tips & tricks and learning new ways of doing
things it clears the head after a long days work.

That 20+ years is not in websites, though. But I have the advantage of
having done it fulltime since 1998 or thereabouts....
