Can a table in HTML be floated as an element?

May 6th, 2008

Can a table written in HTML be floated as an element, as in image <img src="..">

I am trying to have several small blocks of text, seperated within borders
that the text withing the box or group can float depending on screen size.
I don't know how to do this:

example:
------------- ----------- ----------- ---------------
| text | | text | | text | | text |
| | | | | | | |
------------ ----------- ----------- ---------------

Thanks for the help. (Paulxh)

	<tr><th width=54>Ur Text here</th><th align="left" width=211>Ur Text here</th>

I don't see why you would want to float a table since a table already has this layout (columns) by design.

I'd suggest if you want tables side by side, place a div around them and then float the divs...
