urgent help for HTML Tables.?

Hi, not very good at HTML. Need help. Currently have laid out my site design all within a table. Inside that table there are two tables on the top side by side out of which one is aligned to the right. Below these two tables I have other tables all aligned to the left. PROBLEM The top table aligned to the right, it is 160 width pixels by 900 pixels length. I want to keep the other tables below it exactly where they are without moving but as this table grows in length, the other tables keeps getting pushed down. Hope I am clear. Pls help. The html tag for that top right table <table style="text-align: left; margin-left: auto; margin-right: 0px; width: 167px; height: 40px;" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td> PROBLEM SPOT</td> </tr> </tbody> </table>

  1. You should NEVER use tables for layout. Anyone still teaching use of tables for layout now has no idea of recent html development. Use <div>s for layout. Tables are only really useful for data display, although originally they were the only way top obtain grid type layouts.
  2. My best advice is never use tables! They make a web page look like it is from the year 2000.
  3. Tables make your website look horrible, out of date and hard to edit. They also mean that search engines don't like your site. Learn to use css at http://www.yourhtmlsource.com/stylesheets/ It is easy and you will never regret it.
  4. You want to divide the screen to several parts, that are individual from one other, isn't it ? But frameset doesnot support in several browsers or it can be disabled in most browsers, my advice is use alternative method but you can use <FRAMESET> see, for details http://htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/frames/frameset.html
  5. send me the full code to dt192@yahoo.com and i'll convert it to DIV layout
