Hi guys I need some help with my HTML. <br />
<br />
I am in my first HTML course and I am suppose to do a page with text within tables, but I just can find a way to do it.<br />
<br />
I have been able to do the two adjacent tables but when I put the text the second table(on the left) goes down. I tried changing the caption tag from "left" to "middle", but no luck. <br />
So far this is what I have.<br />

<TABLE BORDER="1" align="left"><br />
<br />
<TR><br />
<TH>January</TH><br />
<TH>February</TH><br />
<TH>March</TH><br />

<TD>Row 2 Cell 3</TD><br />
</TR><br />

c:D:Dthead<!--content-->Coothead, thank you so much for your answer.<!--content-->and just an FYI, <br />
<br />
The CAPTION element is only permitted immediately after the TABLE start tag<br />
<br />
not after the closing table tag.<!--content-->Hi, Does someone knows how to get the same layout, but using caption?<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks for your help<!--content-->As the CAPTION tag can only appear after the TABLE tag, (before the TR tag), the caption will always appear on top on the table it's for. <br />
Try this:<br />
<br />
<td width="33.3%"><br />
<table><br />
<caption><br />
This table's caption<br />
</caption><br />
<tr><br />
<td><br />

</tr><br />
</table><br />
</td><br />
<br />
in the center TD.<br />
