tables lol

ya on some sites like www.rednerve.com they use tables. I stacked a table on a table but then i get this gap in between how do i stop that. On rednerver where the tables meet there is no gap. I can't move the tables either.
help!!

Try something like this:

Code:

<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td valign="top"></td>
</tr>
</table>
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td valign="top"></td>
</tr>
</table>

Laying them out as above should cure your problem, remember to always put the closing tag on the same same line as your closing because Internet Explorer thinks it's a paragraph/page break otherwise.

Colspans and Rowspans were the bit I struggled on with tables, so I suggest you take a closer look at that section on htmlgoodies.

row/colspan is so easy if it's actually explained properly - which is never is to a beginner. the part that no one seems to mention which annoys me is the fact the tables must be symmetrical. row 1 cell 2 if 275 px wide. row 2 cell 2 can't be 350! people don't make symmetrical designs then run into this, then emebd table after table to compensate for not taking the time to line up/fix and it ruins my surfing experience.
