 Tables...
Hey everyone
Lately, I have been having problems with tables. The way that I code my sites is using the slice to HTML. I can do them just fine, but when I put a horizontal Navigation, or news box, etc, next to my content, I am constantly having problems, so when my content expands, so does my navigation. Is there any simple way to fix this?

Seperate the news/navigation table, from the content table? :P
Or use divs or sth.

Example:
Just to give a visual I think this is what Jonny was talking about :
If you need to use tables:
Code:
<table>
<tr>
<td>{logo}</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<!-- Nav bar -->
<table> etc... </table>, <div> etc.. </div> or other tag you prefer.
</td>
</tr>
</table>
The news area would have a table or whatever within the table as well. To be honest I don't like that kind of layout. The page will load slower if you have a bunch of tables within tables and it just makes a mess of code, which isn't neccesary.
I'm not sure what he meant by sth though.

There is a simple way to fix all of this, learn css and stop using tables for positioning.

I agree with Julian.
Learn CSS, you will love it. It really isn't that hard, it is much better for positioning.

Sorry blip888, I was being cheeky, I have never done anything but simple tables for tabular data.
