HELP?
Okay. So. I keep majorly failing at trying to get this small bit of code to do what I want it to. Maybe you all at rp_tutorials can help!

</tr></table>

Basically, all I'm trying to do is get the "First Tower" and "Second Tower" lists side by side, leaving the building name and blurb sections where they are. I've been fiddling with it for the better part of an hour and have only managed to frustrate myself. My brain KNOWS that this is just a simple little fix, but for some reason I just can not get it to work the way I want it to. :/

Any help would be appreciated!

You need to put the two lists into different cells of your table, which just means that the second list of numbers should be between its own TD tags. That also means that your table will have two columns, so in order to get the stuff at the top centered over the whole table and not just in the first column, you need to add the phrase colspan="2" into the TD tag for that top data cell. That will stretch the top cell over both columns.

There's more basic information about tables here that might be helpful for you! :)

	I tried that, but I must have done something backwards or something because it kept aligning to the left (no matter what I set the alignment to). Thanks for the link, though! (Reply to this) (Parent)
