I have written the following:

<table width="100%"> <tr><td>

<table bgcolor ="lightblue" border="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" >
<tr><td align="right"><font size=2> Car Model Year: <br>
<input type="text" name="year" size=5></td></tr>
<tr><td align="right"><font size=2> Maximum Acceptable Price:<br>$
<input type="text" name="price" size=12> </font></td> </tr>
</table>
</td>
<td align="center" valign="top">
<table width="80%">
<tr><td><font size=4><br><br><br><b>THIS SITE</td></tr>
</table>
</td></tr>
</table>

It works. However, I want the left table to control 40% of the screen and the right table 60%. I tried many ways to increase the size of the left table, it will not expand more that 10%. Please help.

Not sure what you want but this gives me a left table at 40%
Code: 
<table width="100%"> <tr><td>

<table  bgcolor ="lightblue" border="0" cellpadding="0"  width="40%"  >
<tr><td align="right"><font size=2> Car Model Year: <br>
<input type="text"  name="year"  size=5></td></tr>
<tr><td align="right"><font size=2> Maximum Acceptable Price:<br>$       
<input type="text"  name="price" size=12> </font></td> </tr>
</table>
</td>
<td align="center" valign="top">
<table width="60%">
 <tr><td><font size=4><br><br><br><b>THIS SITE</td></tr>
</table>
</td></tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

This works prefectly well for me:

Code: 
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
	<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" border="1" bgcolor="lightblue">
		<tr>
			<td width="40%">
				<table>
				<tr><td align="right">Car Model Year: <br /><input type="text" name="year" size=5></td></tr>
				<tr><td align="right">Maximum Acceptable Price:<br />$<input type="text" name="price" size=12></td></tr>
				</table>
			</td>
			<td width="60%">B
				<table width="80%">
				<tr><td><b>THIS SITE</b></td></tr>
				</table>
			</td>
		</tr>
	</table>
</body>
</html>

Admittedly, I've only tried it in IE6, but it seems to work.

Your troubles could have been caused by all the end tags you missed out.

Hope this helps,

I've just tried my code in Opera and Mozilla, and it works fine, giving 40/60 as expected, same as IE 6.
