Inserting a table next to a table

[walker11]

I am trying to insert a new table next to the right of a table that I already have. I have the first table width set to a percentage of 55%, and the second table is set at 45%. However when I insert the table, the only place that it will go is below the current table.

Is there a way to insert it next to it instead?

Thank you for any help.

You could put the tables inside layers and set absolute position. Or just make one table and put a blank column between the two. Quick and simple ways.

Like dmacster said, this is easily accomplished by using a master table with as many columns as you want parallel tables.

Here is a sample:

<table width="100%">
  <tr>
     <td width="15%">
          <table name="left_table">
              <tr>
                   <td>&nbsp;</td>
              </tr>
          </table>
     </td>
     <td width="70%">
          <table name="center_table">
              <tr>
                   <td>&nbsp;</td>
              </tr>
          </table>
     </td>
     <td width="15%">
          <table name="right_table">
              <tr>
                   <td>&nbsp;</td>
              </tr>
          </table>
     </td>
  <td>
</table>

Hope this helps!
