Difficult table arrangement

Hello

I have a Web page here:


The Flash and graphics are contained in a table arrangement which doesn't make reading easy - unfortunately.

This is the relevant code:

</HEAD>

<BODY bgcolor=&quot;#FF9900&quot; text=&quot;ffffff&quot;>

<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 width=&quot;350&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot; align=&quot;right&quot;>
<tr>
<td>

<object classid=&quot;clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000&quot;
codebase=&quot;id=&quot;new1&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; height=&quot;18&quot;>
<param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;new1.swf&quot;>
<param name=&quot;quality&quot; value=&quot;high&quot;>
<param name=&quot;bgcolor&quot; value=&quot;#FF9900&quot;>
<embed name=&quot;new1&quot; src=&quot;new1.swf&quot; quality=&quot;high&quot; bgcolor=&quot;#FF9900&quot;
width=&quot;320&quot; height=&quot;18&quot;
type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot;
pluginspage=&quot;</embed>
</object>


</td></tr>

<tr><td colspan=3><img src=&quot;images/space.gif&quot; width=1 height=27></td></tr>

<tr><td valign=top><img src=&quot;images/page_margin.gif&quot; border=0 width=202 height=173></td></tr>

<td><img src=&quot;images/space.gif&quot; width=10 height=1></td>

<td>

<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 width=250>
<tr><td>

</tr>
</table>

</table>

</body>
</html>

Basically, the text I have in the right hand side of the page (and this is in its own table) is far too low down on the page, and needs to be level with that of the border.

I have thought about using frames to overcome this problem, but thought I would ask here before embarking on that road!

Many thanks

The way you've got the table set up will always make your text below the Flash image. What's happening is that the table is set to a width of 350 pixels and your flash image is already 320 pixels wide. Doesn't leave much room for your text.

Make your first table wide enough to accomodate the Flash and the text. Then you'll have more room to work with. (I don't necessarily believe that you need a seperate table for your text - just another cell on the right. There's always a better way...

Hello Tviman

Thank you for your message.

Yes, and that may make the whole operation simpler.

Many thanks for your idea.

Best wishes
