Trying to create table layout

I would like to create a set of tables for a web page I'm making but am having real trouble.  I would like this design:  http://homepage.ntlworld.com/mwd500/Images/Table.JPG

I am fine creating the main table but then when I insert tables into it I start to have problems.  I can create the two tables to the left but am unable to create the two larger ones to the right in the image.  After creating the two to the left I am not able to move the cursor out of them and can only create new tables below them.  If I do manage to make the tables all of them are thrown out of position as soon as I place an image into them.

Paste this into front page and then save.

<table border="0" width="100%" id="table1" style="border-collapse: collapse">
      <tr>
            <td colspan="3" style="border: 1px solid #000000; padding: 1px">&nbsp;</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
            <td width="30%">&nbsp;</td>
            <td width="10">&nbsp;</td>
            <td>&nbsp;</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
            <td width="30%">&nbsp;</td>
            <td width="10">&nbsp;</td>
            <td rowspan="9" style="border: 1px solid #000000; padding: 1px">&nbsp;</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
            <td width="30%" rowspan="12" style="border: 1px solid #000000; padding: 1px">&nbsp;</td>
            <td width="10">&nbsp;</td>

I was able to create something like this, what I was after was seperate tables contained in one main table so they wouldnt be affected by each other if an image was added to one.
