I'm curious: what advantage do you see in nesting the tables on this page? I get the disadvantages inherent in nested tables, and I know there are times when it helps, but I don't see a reason to do it here.



(See how I'm not even mentioning the fact that tables aren't meant for layout? I think I've grown.)
No, he doesn't need to nest the tables, however, he is asking how to add an image to the "open" space on the page. This suggests to be that he doesn't fully grasp how tables work. I think, if he tried nesting them to confine their widths to a main table, he would understand the concept of cells better. Thus, he would be able to design a layout. Make sense?
