Java Report Alignment problem

Hi Experts...
I have the code below which i use to send mail in html format.

The html report is getting prepared properly and the mail feature is working too.
The problem is :Say for example in my html report i have three HTML tables to be displayed they all take center alignment by default and appear one below the other.

When i explicitly add the left alignment code all the tables appear next to one another instead of one below the other.
Please help...

Code for html report:
                           String htmlString = "";
  htmlString += "<html>" + sep;
htmlString += "<head>" + sep;

htmlString += "<title>Your title</title></head><body>";


htmlString += "<table> <tr> <td> stuff</td><td>antother cell</td> </tr>" +
"<tr> <td> stuff</td><td>antother cell</td> </tr>" +
" <tr> <td> stuff</td><td>antother cell</td> </tr></table></body></html>";

Code for mailing:
public void sendEmail(String htmlString, Vector OAEmailAddresses,
                      Vector emailAddressesCC, String userAddress, String subject)
   {


 String adrFrom = userAddress;
      String signature = "";
     String sepp = System.getProperty("line.separator");


       String body = bodyText;

   InternetAddress [] intAdd;
    InternetAddress [] intAddcc;


  intAdd = new InternetAddress[OAEmailAddresses.size()];

    intAddcc = new InternetAddress[emailAddressesCC.size()];



       try {
  for(int j=0; j<OAEmailAddresses.size(); j++)
    intAdd[j] = new InternetAddress((String)OAEmailAddresses.elementAt(j));

    for(int j=0; j<emailAddressesCC.size(); j++)
    intAddcc[j] = new InternetAddress((String)emailAddressesCC.elementAt(j));



    Properties props = new Properties();

	
	props.put("mail.smtp.host", "mailhub.company.com");
	Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
	    Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);
	    msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(adrFrom));
 

	    msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, intAdd);
            msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.CC, intAddcc);
             msg.setSubject(subject );


        msg.setSentDate(new java.util.Date());

	    msg.setText(htmlString);
           msg.setHeader("Content-Type","text/html");  // this is important header

	    Transport.send(msg);
           }
       catch (Exception e) {System.out.println("Error sending e-mail : " + e.toString()); e.printStackTrace(); }
     System.out.println("E-mail message sent!");

In general you should not have </body></html> after each table - these usually come only in the end of the whole web page

Why do you need to add align - what is it that you wanted to achieve with it?

gaugetaAuthor Commented: 2011-09-26

@for_yan:Sorry for the above code.I just gave a sample of how it will look.
Each table does not have a </body></html> with it.

The valid code is shown below.

The effect i want to achieve is display table left aligned and and one below the other and not next to one another which is happening now.
Please help...

htmlString +="<left><table align=\"left\"><tr><td><h3>Final Status: Pass</h5></h3></td></tr></table></left>"; htmlString +="<left><table align=\"left\"><tr><td><h3>Final Status2: Pass</h5></h3></td></tr></table></left>";

Does it send email ain any form?

If it does go to your emal - double click on it, then right-click in the middle and slecet "ViewSource"

Then you'll see notepad (or other editor ) window with html code.
Save the contents of that window to any .txt or .html file and post this file here - I'll correct your html
and tell you how to modify it to have them one under another

This deivision recommendation above shoudll work - if you understadn it from what I wrote above - you can give it a try

Of course remove tehse tags <left> - theye dhouldf not be there <table align=\"left\"> - these should stay

htmlString +="<table align=\"left\"><tr><td><h3>Final Status: Pass</h5></h3></td></tr></table>"; htmlString +="<table align=\"left\"><tr><td><h3>Final Status2: Pass</h5></h3></td></tr></table>";

if the above post does not help then add disvisions like that:

htmlString +="<div><table align=\"left\"><tr><td><h3>Final Status: Pass</h5></h3></td></tr></table></div>"; htmlString +="<div><table align=\"left\"><tr><td><h3>Final Status2: Pass</h5></h3></td></tr></table></div>";
