hi webbie gurus.
for neatness i am trying to design my site using tables but how do i create multi table boxes in the same vert and keep them aligned.
I realise what a huge question that is but i have to start somewhere.
I am trying to learn css but i am knocking on a bit and the old brain cells aren't as quick as they used to be (but i hate being beaten).
i guess as an example of the sort of thing i am talking about can be seen here

When you finish your <TD> start a <TR>
<Table>
<tr><td>blah blah</td></tr>
<tr><td>blah blah</td></tr>
<tr> etc. etc.

I'm not entirely sure what you are trying to acheive, but I'd suggest you "nest" your tables within one another.
This means that you have one main table than holds all the other smaller tables in place, each table being placed within their own <td> and this will ensure that they all line up vertically and horizontally.

i think learning how to nest and position the tables is going to be my challenge.
Is there any software that is suitable for the job?

If you just want a vertical table of single width cells, use the code above. The 'blah blah' is where you put your content.

Hi sunstreak,
I assume you're hand coding in Notepad, or the like. If you want to continue to hand code you could use Composer (see below) to create tables/nested tables and view the source code at each stage to see which code elements do what to the table/cell. Or use it more extensively. 
Netscape 7.2 comes with Composer, an WYSIWYG HTML editor.
It's an online installation; download the setup file (NSSetup.exe - 292Kb) and save to Desktop. Double-click the icon and follow the dialogues opting for the Custom option, then de-select all the extras leaving only the core program to install (10.3Mb).
