You could always make one large table and put the two tables inside of it. That would give you independent control over the two tables.

yes, back in the day, nested tables were a big no-no, but they're more than acceptable now.

back in the day, there was no css... they were a big no-no because it took netscape forever to render them on 25 mhz machines.

Geez, most web applications my department writes has nested table tags 6-7 layers deep. If you want control of placement with HTML, you often have to go apesh!t with table tags.

yea, probably... css is not ready to replace nested tables, maybe in 6 months to a year. hard to imagine but there was a time when were articles on builder.com about this new organization made up of web developers, that was going to standardize everything... of course that was the w3c :)

My son laughs at me because I use FrontPage Express for tables. I don't care. It's quick as hell and I can always tweak it later using TextPad:
  • <table border="0">
    <tr>
    <td><div align="left"><table border="5" width="15%"
    bordercolor="#FFC000" height>
    <tr>
    <td align="center" valign="top"><img
    src="links.jpg" alt="links" width="150"
    height="40"></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td align="center"><a href="hobbies"><img
    src="hobbies.jpg" alt="hobbies" border="0"
    width="150" height="40"></a>

    </td>
    </tr>
    <tbody> </table>
    </div></td>
    <td></td>
    <td><div align="left"><table border="5" width="15%"
    bordercolor="#FFC000" height>
    <tr>
    <td align="center" valign="top"><img
    src="links.jpg" alt="links" width="150"
    height="40"></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td align="center"><a href="hobbies"><img
    src="hobbies.jpg" alt="hobbies" border="0"
    width="150" height="40"></a>

    </td>
    </tr>
    <tbody> </table>
    </div></td>
    <td></td>
    <td><div align="left"><table border="5" width="15%"
    bordercolor="#FFC000" height>
    <tr>
    <td align="center" valign="top"><img
    src="links.jpg" alt="links" width="150"
    height="40"></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td align="center"><a href="hobbies"><img
    src="hobbies.jpg" alt="hobbies" border="0"
    width="150" height="40"></a>

    </td>
    </tr>
    <tbody> </table>
    </div></td>
    </tr>
    </table>
