Im using FLOAT to have tables next to each other. None of the tables have borders, cell spacing or padding but there is a little bit of white space inbetween them (its about 5px).

One table has float: left, the other doesnt have any float property: just an ordinary table

Can anyone explain this oddity please?

TIA

Post the table code.

If the tables are always going to be right next to each other, why separate them in the first place? Just put the <table> of table #2 right after the </table> of #1. No spaces, no line returns, no little girl scouts. Just rightnexttoeachother.

Cheers,

Ooh Edward, I love it when you code dirty...

Here's another way to get two tables next to eachother:
[tt]
<html>
<head>
<title>Test Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<table style=&quot;display:inline; background:red;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot;>
<tr><td>Table 1</td></tr>
</table>

<table style=&quot;display:inline; background:green;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot;>
<tr><td>Table 2</td></tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
[/tt]
It works fine on IE6, for safety on other browsers you might need to remove the spaces/line breaks between </table> and <table ... >, however dirty that might be.
