[thelist] netscape and tables

I would try nesting the two tables within a bigger table like so:

<table> <!-- main table -->
   <tr>
      <td>
      
         <table> <!-- left table -->
            ...
         </table>
         
      </td>
      <td>
         
         <table> <!-- right table -->
            ...
         </table>
         
      </td>
   </tr>
</table>
            
Of course, there are guidelines for nesting tables. I think the standing
rule of thumb is not to go beyond three nested tables, but I will
confess to bending that a little.

Hope that helps,
