Adding Tables on Same Line

In FP2000, in the heading box, I have a title and under that a 1x3
table containing 3 graphics in a horizontal row. I would like to add
two 1X1 tables on each side of the 1X3 table. Is there any way to
force this? A table seems to hog the entire row no matter how wide it
is. I didn't really want to make a 1X5 table because I don't want the
new graphics the same size, and don't want them up against the old
ones. Here is the URL www.k7yca.org .
 
No. You will have to create a 1 row 5 column table and then size the cells as needed.

Make a 3 column table. Put your 3 new tables into each of the 3 adjacent
cells of this outer table.
 
If you want 3 tables side by side, put a single, 1 row, 3 column table on
the page. In each of the three cells, nest a new table. Voila - 3 tables
side by side.
 
OK. I understand what you are saying. I guess I will just have to
try it to see how it would work with what I am trying to do. Thanks.
 
He doesn't want 3 tables side by side.
He wants a table in the middle with 3 cells and another table on each "end."
Can't be done.
It needs to be a 1 row 5 column table with each cell size defined individually.

Thanks Steve. I was scratching my head trying to see how his method
would help me. I will do it as you suggest.

Sure it can. Just do what Murray said, and make the nested tables on each
end 1-cell tables, and the nested table in the center a one-row,
three-column table. Like this: http://thepattysite.com/nested-tables.htm

Correct.
but the original question was:
how do I add tables to the left and right of an existing 3 cell table.
You can't

But you're not adding a table to the left or right.
You're enclosing the old table in a new table.

Why does that matter? It's achieving the goal, no?

But if you are going to be picky about it, consider this markup -

<table width="200" border="1" align="left" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
bgcolor="#333333">
<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table>
<table width="200" border="1" align="left" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
bgcolor="#999999">
<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table>
<table width="200" border="1" align="left" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
bgcolor="#CCCCCC">
<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table>

What do you get?
 
I solved my problem by using a 1 X 5 table with 20 for padding. That
gets the graphics far enough apart that they look better. Thanks for
the ideas. www.k7yca.org

You have to add the # of tables before hand to do what you want to do. When
adding tables to your webpage, it is best to draw your table first with the
number of tables and columns you will need then add them to your webpage.
