Tables

[salaam]

How can i make three tables right next to each other, but not 'connected' ?

[requiredhosting]

you cant they always mess up. just connect them

[kabatak]

nest them in a bigger table or position them using css.

[overulehost]

well... trying using frontpage and draw the tables

[R4g1ng]

Use divs? Using float properties I think it can be done/

what I normally do is create 1 big table with 3 columns. In each column I put another table, which would make it three tables next to each other

I see I see.. I get what you mean.. but how do i actually do this?

[Hostguide101.com]

using css and placing them in bigger tables should do the trick

I have to look in my web design textbook I think it is the cellspacing or cellpadding it makes the borders wider so they are not touching. Never mind I I thought you were talking about table cells I have to look at the css chapter.

[buddy16cat]

<table>
<tr>
<td>
<table>
</table>
</td>
"do this preceding code three times and place your table in the inner table tags "
</tr>
</table>
Then play with the cellspacing and cellpadding

Example:

<TABLE CELLPADDING="5" BORDER="0" CELLSPACING="0" HEIGHT="180" WIDTH="600" ALIGN="CENTER">
<!-- table row starts -->
<TR ALIGN="CENTER" VALIGN="TOP">
<TD>
<!-- table 1 starts -->
<TABLE BORDER="1" WIDTH="200" HEIGHT="60">
<TR>
<TD></TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
<!-- table 1 ends -->
</TD>
<TD>
<!-- table 2 starts -->
<TABLE BORDER="1" WIDTH="200" HEIGHT="60">
<TR>
<TD></TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
<!-- table 2 ends -->
</TD>
<TD>
<!-- table 3 starts -->
<TABLE BORDER="1" WIDTH="200" HEIGHT="60">
<TR>
<TD></TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
<!-- table 3 ends -->
</TD>
</TR>
<!-- table row ends -->
</TABLE>

thanks a lot!
by the way, do you know any good html or css tutorial explaining tables..?
I can't find the code for connected tables.. you see, like two tables right next to each other but connected.

maybe mine was a little confusing about "the preceding code part" but that is what I meant to put the three tables in a table with one row and three cells. I don't know any tables tutorials. I had page layout in HTML in web design 1 last semester.
