I'm curious: what advantage do you see in nesting the tables on this page? |
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? |
But, apparently he doesn't want to confine the widths or I imagine he would have set the individual tables to a width other than 100% - which would be simpler than adding a container table, faster loading, and just as effective. |
Well, his question is somewhat vague, but he seems to confuse the 100% with the resolution. So, that's another point that was made by someone in an earlier post to have him set the width to about 750 pixels.
I think he should probably just start out with one table at a fixed width and add cells and rows to it. this will allow him to grasp the concept of column spans.
The problem he is experiencing is that he is just adding table after table for each portion and he is trying to add two or more tables side-by-side. If he wants to do that, he needs to nest them or simply use a single table and manipulate the rows, columns and cells.
