I know this should be easy but..

<table><tbody><tr colspan="2"><td align="center">blah blah</td><td align="right">blah blah</td></tr></tbody></table>

Surely this would result in one row with 2 cells. It doesn't... I have a few rows on top of this and what happens is I have a table with one cell (the second td) outside of that table (instead of inside the table and inside the row).

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Regards

Are you saying that this is embedded into another table cell or it is an independant table?
And should the colspan be inside the <td align="center">

Please paste the whole table code, as the problem may lie there.

<table align="center"><tbody><tr><td><br><br>
<font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="+3"><b><u>ACCOUNTANTS</u></b></td></tr></table><br>
<table align="center" border="2"><tbody class=btibkltblue><tr align="center"><td><font size="+2"><br><b><u>COMPANY NAME &amp; CO.</b></u></font></td></tr>
<tr align="center"><td><font size="+2"><b>Chartered Certified Accountants</b></td></tr>
<tr align="center"><td>"Providing a full range of Accounting and Taxation services in an efficient and cost effective manner etc"</td></tr>
<tr align="center"><td><b>First Consultation Free</b><br></td></tr>
<tr><td><font size="+1"><b>
<address>NAME &amp; Co.</address>
<address>1st Line</address>
<address>2nd Line</address>
<address>POSTCODE</address></b></font></td>

<tr align="center"><td><b>Hours of Business...</b>Monady to Friday 9 - 5 pm. Closed for lunch 1 - 2 pm</td></tr>
<tr align="center"><td><b>Located...</b> 7 doors up on the left hand side of Clarendon Street (from the Strand Road).</td></tr>
<tr align="center"><td><b>Getting There...</b>Town Centre Location</td></tr>
<tr align="center"><td><b>1 minute from...</b>Quayside Shopping Centre</td></tr>
<tr align="center"><td><b>Parking...</b>Quayside Multi-story, Patrick Street or Clarendon Street</td></tr></tbody></table>

Is the problem that the middle row, with the two cells is pushing out to the right?

This would fix that:

<table align="center"><tbody><tr><td><br><br> 
<font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="+3"><b><u>ACCOUNTANTS</u></b></td></tr></table><br>
<table align="center" border="2"><tbody class=btibkltblue><tr align="center"><td colspan="2"><font size="+2"><br><b><u>COMPANY NAME &amp; CO.</b></u></font></td></tr>
<tr align="center"><td colspan="2"><font size="+2"><b>Chartered Certified Accountants</b></td></tr>
<tr align="center"><td colspan="2">"Providing a full range of Accounting and Taxation services in an efficient and cost effective manner etc"</td></tr>
<tr align="center"><td colspan="2"><b>First Consultation Free</b><br></td></tr>
<tr><td><font size="+1"><b>
<address>NAME &amp; Co.</address>
<address>1st Line</address>
<address>2nd Line</address>
<address>POSTCODE</address></b></font></td>
<td>

At least that's what I think you wanted out of it. In order to make everything line up properly you needed to tell each cell to span 2 columns. This could be fixed if you broke it down into three tables.

AS far as I know, you don´t put the colspan=2 into the <TR>, you put it in the <TD> otherwise it has no effect at all.

Thank you collyer_1 that has fixed the problem. And yes Scottfree that is what I should have been doing
