I notice some table cell tags in there, orphaned: no table row, or table for that matter. You aren't showing us all the relevant code, and that makes it nearly impossible to help you.

Re: div comes vertical when i need it horizontal sideby side as columns

I see that you're mixing divs and tables... usually one or the other is used for layout, but not both. The "center" tag is deprecated. Also, your leftname style has width set to 100% and also "auto". I doubt anything could be "side-by-side" with a 100% width block-level element.
