asked on

Tables - how can I put things NEXT to it

I have a table
<TABLE -stuff here>
  <TR>
     <TD>item1</TD>
     <TD>item2</TD>
  </TR>
  <TR>
     <TD>item3</TD>
     <TD>item4</TD>
  </TR>
</TABLE>

would produce something like
item1 item2
item3 item4

well I would like to put a button next to the table

item1 item2 (button)
item3 item4 (button2)

I've searched through the entire MSDN library and can not find any attribute to allow me to do this =(  unless I missed it.

Please clue me in as to how =)

add more cells:

<TABLE>
 <TR>
    <TD>item1</TD>
    <TD>item2</TD>
    <TD>button1</TD>
 </TR>
 <TR>
    <TD>item3</TD>
    <TD>item4</TD>
    <TD>button2</TD>
 </TR>
</TABLE>


to display button you can use form:

<form>
<input type=button value="Caption here">
</form>

You can create another column or it

<TABLE -stuff here>
 <TR>
    <TD>item1</TD>
    <TD>item2</TD>
    <TD><input type="button" value="Button 1"></TD>
 </TR>
 <TR>
    <TD>item3</TD>
    <TD>item4</TD>
    <TD><input type="button" value="Button 2"></TD>
 </TR>
</TABLE>


Or

You can use white spaces to do it
<TABLE -stuff here>
 <TR>
    <TD>item1</TD>
    <TD>item2&nbsp;<input type="button" value="Button 1"></TD>
 </TR>
 <TR>
    <TD>item3</TD>
    <TD>item4&nbsp;<input type="button" value="Button 2"></TD>
 </TR>
</TABLE>


I would recommend the first method.

ok sorry, but I got a border on my table

so it's actually

|--------------
|item1 | item2 | [button]
|item3 | item4 | [button2]
---------------

You are the man :)

I thought that might be the solution... but dang it's so ugly...  but looks SO complex @.@ mmmmmmmmmmmmm could impress my boss maybe *grin*

You should see this table you want me to embed... I just used a pretty pathetic example X_X

~Ixeus

thx again... I'll accept your answer once I get this to work :)

Very nice =)
I LOVE this table nesting... god why did I use it in the first place!

It totally rules ;)

I can align it no problems, some basic tecniques to use when you apply table and it's contents.
