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

Looks like Andrew's got it.  <.br clear="all> needs to be there.

Here's an array of HTML for your delectation.

If you view the source at http://www.armadillosoft.com/cmc/, you will see a nested table about 5 lines up from the bottom.  

Now, look at http://www.armadillosoft.com/cmc/cmcbr.htm 
In this version, I un-nested the table, and placed a simple <.br> between the two tables.  Notice how my validator icon and armadillo icon are now pushed all the way to the right and top of the table that they are supposed to follow.

And then, look at http://www.armadillosoft.com/cmc/cmcbrcl.htm 
In this version, I use un-nested tables, with a <.br clear="all"> between the two.  And everything's in its rightful place.

Ya learn sumthin' new ev'ry day 'round here! Thanks Andrew.
