Putting tables right beside each other.

[Xyphon]

How do you pit tables beside each other? No matter what I do the next table goes UNDER the other one.

An HTML question, but oh well....

 

You have to either set them to inline, or put them in a container, such as the same row of another table.

Well, that would ruin the whole output to put it in the same table. How do you set them inline?

[Northern Flame]

you can do something like this

 

<table>
<tr>
<td><table><tr><td></td></tr></table></td>
<td><table><tr><td></td></tr></table></td>
</tr>
</table>

 

By the way, next time dont post this in PHP because its an HTML question!

I meant have three tables with the two tables inside of one of the tables....

 

Example:

 

<table>
     <tr>
          <td>
               <table>
                    <tr>
                         <td>
                              table 1
                         </td>
                    </tr>
               </table>
          </td>
          <td>
               <table>
                    <tr>
                         <td>
                              table 2
                         </td>
                    </tr>
               </table>
          </td>
     </tr>
</table>

 

That's basically identical to what Northern Flame put, but oh well ;p.

 

<table style="display: inline;">

 

The only problem with inline elements is that you can't set a static width for them (well..... not easily).

I would do this with css...

html...

<div class="table2">
Table 2
</div>
<div class="table1">
table 1
</div>

css...

.table1 {
float left;
}
.table2 {
float right;
}

 

Cheers.
