embedding a table inside a table

can you do this?!

[evanheld]

I am trying to embed a table inside a table, but I keep getting an error stating the <form> tag can only be declared once. (I am not adding a second <form> tag, it's added when I drop the second table inside the first.)

I'm doing this because I have a sidebar with buttons that I don't want moving when a page is resized. However, I want the content of the page to center when a page is resized. I do not want to use frames if I can avoid it.

Does anyone have any suggestions, either for embedding tables or a different solution to this issue?

Thanks,

Got a brief code excerpt? That will help us track down the problem for you.

You also might want to consider a less table heavy solution based on divs styled with CSS.

Actually, can you point me to a good site that references divs styled with css. They way I am currently doing this is not very pleasant. There has to be a better way.

A site search [webmasterworld.com] will reveal some interesting threads. You can also google for "CSS centered two column layout" [google.com]. There are also some threads in the forum library [webmasterworld.com] with similar solutions...

Thanks. I've found some great sites, I'll be studying this for a while. I appreciate it.
