I've been having a problem. I want to create a table that has 4 boxes in width, with an unlimited potential in height. My "main content" is 598px. When I reach 4 boxes I want it to automatically start a new row when I insert more picture. When I continue the process and add the same table code over 4 time, the 5th table goes into my “right side bar” and doesn’t go down when it has reach the size limit of the main content. How would i fix this? here is the code

Main content:
#content #picture {
padding-top: 20px;
width: 598px;
position: relative;
float: left;
margin-right: 5px;
margin-left: 5px;
}

Table attributes:
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr><center>
<td valign="bottom" width="195">
<table cellpadding=2 cellspacing=0 width="140">
<tr><td colspan=2>Flowers<br /></td></tr>
<tr>
<td colspan=2><a class="thumb" target="_blank"><img src="file:///C|/Documents and Settings/J/Desktop/Flowers/images/f3.jpg" width="135" height="120"></a><br /></td></tr>
<tr><td><font class="s"></font><br /></td><td align=right><font class="s"><br /><br /></td></tr>
</table>
<br />
</td>
</center></tr>
</table>

i hope your not using a table for your sites layout. that can cause some issues..

try repeat -y. I don't know if this is going to work, but at least try it. Sorry if it doesnt.

Percentages might work for height; then you could use min-height/max-height if you dont want it to exceed

why are tables bad?

There not bad if you actually making some kind of chart. But layout wise it's not the best choice. You can achieve the same thing with Div tags and you have more/better control on what they do. Using tables your control is kinda limited.
