Tables and colspan 1

[JohnBates]

Hi html experts,

I have a fairly basic question about tables and rows.

In the table (below), the first row contains links to all the pages on the site. The problem is that, rather than being spaced out on a single row, they get bunched-up on the left side. I think i need to use colspan but not sure how to go about it without messing the rest of the table. I just want sort of a banner of links at the top of the table.

<table bgcolor=#FFFFFF align="CENTER" rules="none" border="1" width="70%" cellpadding=0>
<tr bgcolor=#0000FF>
<td align="center"><a href="index.html">Services We Offer</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;|&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="qualifications.htm">Qualifications</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;|&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="clients.htm">Some of Our Clients</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;|&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="about.htm">About Lonestar</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;|&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="contact.htm">Contact Us</a></td>
</tr>
<br>
<tr style="font-size: 16pt;">
<th colspan="2">Some of Our Clients...</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<th align="left" WIDTH="20%">Dallas Morning News</th>
<td WIDTH="50%">Conducted simulated DOT audit of truck operations</td>
</tr>
<th align="left">Ryder Integrated logistics</th>
<td>Conducted driver training for accident prevention and hours of service</td>
</tr>
<th align="left">USA Risk Management</th>
<td>On-site safety surveys of several trucking firms</td>
</tr>
<th align="left">Fojtasek Companies</th>
<td>Developed and implemented trucking safety program for DOT compliance</td>
</tr>
<th align="left">LDJ Redi Mix Concrete</th>
<td>Advised company as to how to achieve safer operation</td>
</tr>
<th align="left">DriveSafe Defensive Driving</th>
<td>Teach safe driving principles to the public in a class room setting</td>
</tr>
</table>

Thanks for any tips. John

To fix your immediate problem, add a 'colspan="2"' to your first TD.

Hope this helps,
Dan
