Learn now and early the value of tabbing and indenting your code properly.

In soviet russia, tables within tables learned to create a confused you.

It's not tough if you stay organized. Make sure you define where one table starts and ends clearly.

Example:

<table>
<tr>
<td>stuff</td>
<td>more </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>

<!-- new table starts here -->
<table>
<tr><td></td></tr>
</table>
<!-- new table ends here -->

</td>
<td>Yet more stuff</td>
</tr>
</table>

in this example, not tabbing looks a lot cleaner...although theres just a few cases where tabbing is counter-productive...

<table>
<tr>
<td>
<!-- inner table -->
<table>
<tr>
<td></td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- end of inner table -->
</td>
</tr>
</table>

just try to keep it organised and it'll make sense

I'm a sloppy bastard with code and I let emacs take care of it.

With "sloppy" code that is out of order in closing table cells, you can create some clean-looking tables. For instance, you can start a nested table inside a TR (not a TD) and get something that looks like this:

Check it

Initially I was a bit confused, but if you make enough of them, it's second nature. Don't sweat it, and don't quit.

Repost I guess?

And no btw. I had a really good book that explained it to me in great detail so it was pretty easy.

Not confused but I did learn early the value of tabbing and commenting when nesting several tables.

Compared to 6502 assembly tables were pretty easy. Besides the tabbing suggestions you might also try varying the capitalization, for example use <CAPS> for the outer table rows / columns, <lowercase> for the inner table.

Try drawing them on paper first, sometimes it makes things easier
