RE: Stacked tables (I'll betcha this is a stupid question, but here goes):

Hmmm maybe I am misunderstanding you, but if what you want is to have
something like:

Header Table content
Middle Table content
Footer Table content

You simply use something like this:

<table width="500" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr>
    <td width="250">Header col-1</td>
    <td width="250">Header col-2</td>
  </tr>
</table>
<table width="500" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr>
    <td width="250">Middle col-1</td>
    <td width="250">Middle col-2</td>
  </tr>
</table>
<table width="500" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr>
    <td width="250">Footer col -1</td>
    <td width="250">Footer col -2</td>
  </tr>
</table>

I have used 2 td's within each table, but you can use as many as you
need. Also you don't HAVE to nest these to keep them stacked this way.
If you need spacing between each table, just use <br> tags.
