Question

How to get two TD cells side by side WITHOUT using css

Answer 1

+1 A:

I'm not entirely sure I understand the question... The space in between them in the source will be ignored by the browser, and should put them next to each other.

Do you want to remove the padding between the cells? Try adding style="border-collapse: collapse" to the <table> element. But even better would be to move your styling over to a css file, since you've got so much going on there.

edit: Ah, now I notice the position: absolute in there. Get rid of that (and the top, right, bottom, and left that go with it).

+1 - my first thought was `border-collapse`

Thanks. I wouldn't ordinarily include (top, left, etc) in the TD, but I'm trying to mirror the placement of text data from another application. This other app spits out a data file indicating the position (top, left, etc) of its screen info. Ideally Im looking to get the TDs to act on their TOP ) - thanks

Answer 2

+2 A:

Why absolutely position your table cells? They automatically render next to each other. All you need to do is border-spacing="0" if I remember correctly. It'd be much easier with css though =)
