most apps like Dreamweaver let you do it quite simply. Her's some code showing three tables inside a three-columned table:

<table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2" width="180">
<tr>

<td>
<table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2" width="64">
<tr>
<td>table 1</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>

<td>
<table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2" width="64">
<tr>
<td>table 2</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>

<td>
<table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2" width="64">
<tr>
<td>table 3</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>

</tr>
</table>

If you copy one of the cells and repeat it, you'll see that it creates another cell. Coding this stuff by hand is quite hard, so either get an editor or ask us exactly what you'd like and we'll knock up the code for you.

My entire site is nothing but nested tables...........feel free to check out my code if you want or even copy and paste it in your html editor or notepad............froggy.

i want to put the contact form in the big square underneath the text.....http://www.pcdsigns.com/contact3.html the thing is i did everything in imageready so the big square is a jpeg and when i try to put a table or a layer on top of it, it moves to a side and i need it to stay where it is.

the way i put the contact form on my last site was i put the table inside a layer. i cant do that with this one bc if u stretch or reduce the size of your browser the site is always centered and if i put it in a layer the whole site will stay centered but the form (in the layer) will stay in place.

i hope im making sence

thanks for the help

One solution is to re-export from imageready but with some extra splices. Basically uo'll want to create a single square within your "form box" that doesn't include the curved frame (the frame will be four seperate splices).

Then, when you export from imageready, delete the blank square (only the image, not the table holding it) and put your form in place. Everything should still work. If it doesn't then set the width and height of the cell in question to the same values as the image size before you delete it. Then it will DEFINATELY still work. You'll need to set alignments and background colours for the cell in question.

Here's a quick example I did with rough slicing.....
