Need help with some tables

[autopost]

Okay, I'm having trouble with the last portion of this table design. I have the outside of the tables done, but I need to to the inside tables without moving the "border" of the table design, can someone help me out?<br />
<br />
This is what it's supposed to look like:<br />

Thanks,<br />
KG<!--content-->Ok I think I know what you mean...<br />
<br />
Basically you need to creat a table and nest tables within that main table. So main table has two rows and two cols. Merge the top two cols into one col. Now you have the basis for the structure. Now create three seperate tables each with their content and then paste the code for each table into each relevant cell.<br />

<br />
You can control the position of your many tables by wrapping them inside another table.<br />
<br />
Instead of using align then wrap the tables inside another table, e.g. like this:<br />
<br />
<br />
<table cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 border=0><br />
<br />
<tr><br />
<td colspan="4"><br />
.. here goes your grey news logo / banner add table<br />
</td><br />
</tr><br />
<br />
<tr><br />
<td rowspan="2"><br />
.. here goes your latest news/hardware/software table<br />
</td><br />
<td colspan="2"><br />
.. here goes your top headlines table<br />
</td><br />
<td rowspan="2"><br />
.. here goes your multimedia table w/ clip1,2,etc<br />
</td><br />
</tr><br />
<br />
<tr><br />
<td><br />
.. here goes your related stories <br />
</td><br />
<td> <br />
.. here goes your From the experts<br />
</td><br />
</tr><br />
<br />
<tr><br />
<td colpsan="4"><br />
heregoes site map / copy right etc<br />
</td><br />
</tr><br />
<br />
</table><br />
<br />
<br />
Nice layout by the way..<br />
And: you can use style sheets to set the border width/type of the tables, or do so directly in the table tabs.<br />
To create the desired white space effect to try change the CELLPADDING/CELLSPACING AND BORDER values of the individual tables or the main (my) table above. <br />
