Table question

[Dyan]

Can I have two tables side by side on a page? And if so, how?

[brothercake]

<table style="float:left"> ... </table>
<table style="float:right"> ... </table>

will do it in modern (5+) browsers; if you want that layout in legacy browsers then you can nest each table inside another table.

But note - using tables for layout (rather than data) is generally discouraged; if you do use them like that, then you should set a null summary attribute

<table summary="" ...

so that screenreaders know it's not a data table.

make one align="left" or "right" and play with the width a bit

okay, this is lo tech but effective:


<TABLE WIDTH="100%" BORDER="1">
<TR>
<TD WIDTH="50%">
<TABLE WIDTH="100%">
<TR>
<TD WIDTH="100%">TABLE 1</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</TD>
<TD WIDTH="50%">
<TABLE WIDTH="100%">
<TR>
<TD WIDTH="100%">TABLE 2</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
