Nested Table - what's wrong with this code?

08-09-2004

Here is a simplified version of my code which utilizes a nested table.
I realize there is no SRC for the IMG, but I have tested it both with and
without a legitimate path and it doesn't seem to make a difference, so for
the time being I'm leaving the SRC blank.

My goal is to have a table next to an image...something like this...

---------------------------------------------
Search
Catalog -------> The image is to the right
---------------------------------------------

The problem is the browser displays the output something like this...
---------------------------------------------
Search
Catalog

The image is below
---------------------------------------------
Also, the above information must exist inside the current table.

I realize that I could separate the Search Catalog and image into two
different TD cells, however, I don't want to do that - I need them in the
same cell. (If you really really must know when then email me and I am
happy to tell you).

Here's the code:

<html>

<body>

<table border="1">
<tr>
<td>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<table border="1">
<tr>
<td>
Search<br>Catalog
</td>
</tr>
</table><img src="">
</td>
<td>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

</body>

</html>

And your problem. You've got all this:
<table border="1">
<tr><td></td></tr>
<tr><td></td></tr>
<tr>
<td>
<table border="1"><tr><td>Search<br>Catalog</td></tr></table>
<img src="">
</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
</table>

when all you probably need is something like this:
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>
<img style="float: right;" src="">
Search<br/>Catalog
</p>
<p></p>

with a little CSS.

You need to tell the image where you want it.

Rather than <img src="">

You need <img src="" align="right">

One sec while I take the time to build a sample page so I can see a
demonstration of what you are trying to tell me.

Wait a second, YOU should provide a sample page.

<table align=left>

</table>
<img src="...>

Or use the CSS float=left

Webcastmaker, I did provide sample code in my first post. Was this not
adequate?

And my response to the other posts.... Why do you waste time telling me to
use <p> when I clearly stated that I'm only interested in using nested
tables for this particular project? By the way adding style="float:right;"
or align="right" didn't solve the problem. It would be nice if you test
your results without blindly posting them.

you're supposed to make it easy for people to help you for free. supply
a URL, don't expect people to screw around reconstructing a page that
may not be the same or behave the same as the one you're working on.

Avoid posting multiple lines of markup, often the markup posted is
incomplete and doesn't help identify the problem. Supply a link, it
makes it much easier for people to help you.

It may help to know that they're a funny lot around here - unlike other
places that you've been, this lot tend not to give out useful advice to
people that address them in the manner above. I know that it feels like
pandering to unreasonable expectations but, if you engage them in pleasant
discourse, they'll provide a much better response.

And, once you have your answers, you can tell them what you think of them

Of course when you have a different problem you have to come back
with a different alias....
