one table in middle, one in the right corner below

I need a code to align one table to the centre of the page, and align an other table at the right border below. I cant find a working solution myself. <snip>

<table align="center"> 
: 
</table> <table align="right"> 
: 
</table>

Should work but... it is not the recommended way of doing this these days (the ALIGN attribute is deprecated and does not separate style and content). A CSS solution [webmasterworld.com] would be a lot better. I'd also question the use of tables in favour of simple DIV containers (and CSS). Tables should not really be used for layout (old habits die hard); tables are for tabular data/information.

Hope that helps, welcome to webmasterworld :)

i agree with penders, use a DIV. What you could do is use 2 Divs floated side by side in the middle of the page using the <center> tag above them. Then place one table in each using the DIV's to align them where you want.

Hope that helps :)
