I can make HTML tables, I think, but I can't put them where I want them.
I want to make 2 identical small tables to put links inside but I want to set them on the same line at either end of the
window, I mean one table (or box) on the left side and an identical on the right side, somehow I can't figure out the
code.
This is what I have so far
DON'T TRY THE LINKS, THEY ARE NOT REAL, I replaced de : after http with ; so they won't work
-----
<TABLE>
<TD>
<div align="left" style="width: 100%">
<TABLE bgColor=#0000B0 border=2
borderColor=#ff0000 cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=1
width="100%">

<TD>
<P align=center>
<B><FONT color=#ffff00 face=times size=3>Other great links to explore: <BR>
<A HREF="http;//www.www.net"><FONT COLOR=#A0E0FF> www </a><BR>
</font>
</table></div></td>

<TD>
<div align="right" style="width: 100%">
<TABLE bgColor=#f00000 border=2
borderColor=#ff0000 cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=1
width="100%">

<TD>
<P align=center>
<B><FONT color=#ffff00 face=times size=3>Other great links to explore: <BR>
<A HREF="http;//www.zzz.com"><FONT COLOR=#A0E0FF> xxx </a><BR>
</font>
</table></div></td></tr>

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for any help you can give me.

increase your RAM to 1.5 GB to accomplish this.

{snip diabolical mark-up}
Tables nested 3 deep in order to display 2 links?
When finished please post the URL here so that I know never to visit.

Thanks Richard but could you insert that into the code I posted, please? I just can't figure out how to use what you
posted.

Thanks again!

</table></div></td>

You have your markup completely screwed up. A cell must start with
<td><div><table> if ends with </table></div></td> Not keeping the
right order on the tags is the same as begging for trouble.

If you validate your code at http://validator.w3.org/ it will tell
you, that you have tags starting and ending places they are not
allowed, and the is because they are crossed.

Not surprising. Bullis knows little about HTML. It's best to ignore him.

go - yeah! cool! Use tables and they'll mumble about positioning
and how controlling column widths can be beyond the wit of man.

Judging from the religious fervour in some people's responses to the

The 1.5gb swipe was a cheap shot aimed at another thread the original poster
had started.

I've been hearing the "fervour" for many a year - I'm a web developer so no
surprise there.
There are 2 sides to this and both as loud as the other.
HTML purists: Deliver the information as efficiently as possible to the
widest possible audience.
Designers: Deliver the content as interestingly as possible to our audience.
I'm glad I'm on the programming side of things these days as I always had
one cheek on either side of that fence.
*But* nested tables in order to display 2 text links?
Oh well, it's not my place to question a persons contribution to the
Internet.

Not surprising. It's Bullis.

Haven't you been kicked to the curb enough times over this, Bullis?
