Creating tables in Dreamweaver

I have a table in Dreamweaver that serves as the body of my page. I would like to move the right margin of the table inward so I can put a skyscraper-type table on the right hand side of the page. However, I can't do it. When I shorten the width of the main table and try to click and insert a table to the right of it, I see the cursor blinking on the left margin. What gives and how can I fix it? Below is the code of the table if this helps at all:

Have you tried using CSS? - You can use it to create more elegant sky scrapers, keeping style separate from content.

You can position an image to repeat down the right hand side of the page using the body tag and style attribute. I'd look something like:

Alternatively you could add the attributes to the the body element in an external style sheet for site-wide skyscraper.

Don't think of it as a new table, think of it as a new column.

In DW, right click the cell in your existing table, select TABLE > INSERT COLUMN.

Or you can do the same in the table menu.

I was able to solve the problem. Thank you both.
