Cover prototype of my latest book: "Creating Cool Web Sites"

We're getting closer and closer to publication date with my latest HTML/CSS/JavaScript book, Creating Cool Web Sites with HTML, XHTML and CSS. We're done with the writing and editing - and it's going to be a really excellent book, I've worked with a great team on this - and now it's the fun of designing and developing a cover look. And here it is, in first prototype form...

Pretty funky, eh?

I'm working with Creating Cool HTML 4 to build a website and have come up against a problem with tables/lists. I want to have 2 separate tables side by side on the same frame. I can do it by putting them in separate frames but when I try to put them on the same frame the display page blends them togeather into 1 list, as shown below.

Table 1
Table A
Cell 1
Cell A
Cell 2
Cell B

What I want is
Table 1 Table A
Cell 1 Cell A
Cell 2 Cell B

I tried putting the coding I'm using in this post but couldn't get it to go in right. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong.

Yes, I don't allow HTML code within the entries of my weblog. But not by choice: there are too many people that would add, um, inappropriate content. Unfortunately.

But, on to your question. If you want to have a layout with two tables adjacent to each other, the standard way is to actually put them within another table. So it might look like this

(table)
(tr)(td)

(( here's where you'd put table 1 with its different data cells ))

(/td)(td)

(( here's where you'd put table A with its different data cells ))

(/td)(/tr)
(/table)

I hope that clarifies things!
