help for php table problem

I am trying to build a page with 2 tables which should be side by side, next to each other.
But when I run my php script, the second table always appears below the first one. The table widths are OK.
What commands or formatting function should I use to make the two tables appear side by side?
Many thanks.

that will likely come down to how your tables are layed out. did you use a contianer table to align the smaller tables correctly?

You could put the smaller tables in another table, ie:

Code: Select all

<table cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0>
<tr><td>

<table><!-- Left table here --!></table>

</td><td>

<table><!-- Right table here --!></table>

</td></tr>
</table>

This is a client-side question.

If you want the two tables to be displayed side to side, why not merge them?

Code: Select all

-------
| 1| 2|
-------
| 3| 4|
-------

-------
| 5| 6|
-------
| 7| 8|
-------

Code: Select all

-------------
| 1| 2| 5| 6|
-------------
| 3| 4| 7| 8|
-------------
