    table alignment

    hello,

    i have a table, that serves as a navigation box in the upper left
    corner of my
    page. i aligned this table with <table align="left">. right to it i
    have a heading and some text. but sometimes there is no text. in this
    case, the following table is positioned right to the navigation table,
    which looks very confusing.
    now i'm looking for a way to have the second table positioned below
    the navigation, if there is text above or not.

    thanks in advance

      Tabular navigation? How unusual.

      Presentational HTML? That's a bit dated. Try the CSS float property instead.

      Make use of the CSS clear property (apply it to the second table - gosh,
      what a lot of tabular data you must have).

          Don't listen to Dorkward, he's a CSS Nazi. Tables are fine.

              Gosh, its been a long time since I heard that one. I think I was 12 at the
              time (as was the people who came up with that highly witty insult)

                  Better arguments please. This is not a way to communicate IMO.
                  Especially since you are advocating a outdated method (on multiple threads).

                      If he is, then he is probably sipping pino coladas now, surrounded by
                      latina ladies on a private beach.

                          Sometime around Thu, 27 Nov 2003 08:43:13 -1000, William Starr Moake is
                          reported to have stated:[color=blue]

                          Of course they are. For tabular data.

                          Unless you're stuck in a time warp to 1995, that is.

                              BHF: Nazi in three - outstanding effort.

                              Not even the usual bum-sniffing, handbag-waving ding dong preamble nonsense.
