I am making web site and taking hint from web site design company.Some times i surf designing related sites.I am having a serious problem in my HTML pages while making tables. If there is a two columned layout and when i write some text in the left column the text in the right column goes down.the more the text written in the left side, the more the text goes down in the right side.

Your problem is common among people who are new to HTML.

We've all gone through these sorts of problems, but hang in there and keep at it. It's frustrating to be sure but you'll learn as you go along.

Meanwhile, be sure to check out the HTML tutorials at W3Schools Online Web Tutorials, don't forget to bookmark it as a favorite!

If you use Firefox, you may also want to try the firebug extension, which lets you edit the code of a displayed page and see the changes live - a good way to learn without breaking anything.

Just to add to that, when developing with Firefox you should also get hold of the Web Developer toolbar. Has saved me hours of grief and is great for testing how pages react without css / javascript etc.
