hey, anyone here a front page expert?

im using fp to make my website.

basically i had a question regarding tables.

what i want to do is have two tables right, basically next to each other, but spaced out.

like i can do this by making one table with four cells. but they are not spaced out.

let me add a link to a little photoshop design that i put together.

this is what i want it to look like.

the link is not up yet, but it will be shortly.

I don't know how to use Front Page, but like you said, if you wanted to do it with 4 cells, you could put one (or two, but one would suffice) cell in the middle and then use the TD WIDTH tag to either specify a pixel value or a percent value. If you do that, you will probably need to put a BR tag in to "trick" the browser into thinking that something is in the cell so it will give the cell the value that you specified. That's how I would do what you're talking about, anyway.

The easiest way I could think of would be to create a table with two tables in it and user a transparent spacer.gif to seperate them.

You can't do it. Not without nesting tables. It's not a limitation of FrontPage, it's a limitation of HTML.

As SuperCommando said, you need to create a table, then put the two tables into that. Here's some raw code for you:



<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td>
<table cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" border="1">
<tr>
<td>Top cell of table</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Main cell of table</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
<td><img src="someinvisiblespacerimage.gif" width="20" border="0"></td>
<td>
<table cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" border="1">
<tr>
<td>Top cell of table</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Main cell of table</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>



Edit: Hrmpf! I have it all formatted nicely, but FuseTalk kills it.
