| I am not happy with the way my table looks at http://www.borderlandsbaptistassociation.org/churches.asp - http://www.borderlandsbaptistassociation.org/churches.asp . I want the physical address to be much closer to the mailing address. I have tried many different things. Please view the HTML Source on this web page. How do I make the physical address much closer to the mailing address? |

In the table you got one time just one column, then you got 2 once you even got a colspan=20. The sum of columns in each row must be the same for 1 table, so <td></td><td></td> = <td colspan=2></td> and not = <td colspan=20></td> ------------- http://baumannphoto.com" rel="nofollow - Blog | http://mpgtracker.com" rel="nofollow - MPG Tracker |

| I changed the colspan to 2. But I still cannot get the physical address closer to the mailing address at http://www.borderlandsbaptistassociation.org/churches.asp - http://www.borderlandsbaptistassociation.org/churches.asp . Does anyone have ideas on how I can fix this problem? |

You need to set the width of the columns. Because you haven't the first columns spans to the size of the widest text region "Iglesia Bautista Divino Salvador-Vista Bonita" ------------- L. Jamal Walton http://www.ljamal.com/" rel="nofollow - L. Jamal Inc : Web/ Print Design and ASP Programming |

That tables in bad shape. You should loose the height= in the table tag. Also, at the end, your </center></table> tags need to be reversed to match their order where the table starts. You're problem is with column spans, and it's complicated to explain, but basically, I believe you're thinking of it as a single column table with some rows containing two columns when actually, it's a 2 column table with some rows containing a single cell that spans two columns. so here's a code example.
The address rows have two columns. The size of those columns is governed by the size of the table in most browsers. To move them closer together, either get rid of the width=740 in the table tag -------------
