Ok thanks toon I will try what you have mentioned

Yeah i tried that but what happens is the table drops down for some reason half way down where its supposed to be. is this a formatting problem ?. [img]http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f398/gilesp70/spare/table.jpg[/img]

is there a way to pasting a table in html code into a field on a form then submit it to a database and display the entry as a table. etc if i paste this into a field called info. <table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#111111" width="100%">   <tr>     <td width="33%">name</td>     <td width="33%">surname</td>     <td width="34%">age</td>   </tr>   <tr>     <td width="33%">billy</td>     <td width="33%">gates</td>     <td width="34%">54</td>   </tr> </table> how would i then display it as a table instead of the code. this is how i currently display and convert text     $info = nl2br(stripslashes($row['info'])); sorry for the poor description of what i need to do
