side by side tables

message from ccpk01 on 15 Jul 2004
How do I create side by side tables? I have inserted 2 tables into a cell, but one is below the other.

You make one table and select it... then select in propertys (at the bottom of
the screen you'll see the propertys bar) you change "cols" text box from a "1"
to a "2"... this will add a table beside the existing one.

Huh? Why can you not have side by side tables?

No, ~Flash~, that's outright wrong. What that does is add a column to an
existing table. The OP either needs to do nested tables:

<table>
<tr>
<td>
<!-- first nested table goes here -->
<table></table>
</td>
<td>
<!-- second nested table goes here -->
<table></table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

or put the tables side by side and float them with CSS:

.floatleft { float : left ; }
.floatright { float : right ; }

<table class="floatleft"></table>
<table class="floatleft"></table>

Or you could align first table left.

<table width="100" border="2" align="left">
<caption align="top">
Table 1
</caption>
<tr>
<td> </td>
</tr>
</table>
<table width="100" border="2">
<caption align="top">
Table 2
</caption>
<tr>
<td> </td>
</tr>
</table>
