Hey all! Okay, so I made a table to create columns...only problem is that the stuff OUTSIDE the table got shifted to the right. As you can see:

code:
<html>
<head>
<title>
Page 11

</head>
<body>

<center><h1>"Seeing" Spacetime with Gyroscopes</h1>

<h4>GRAVITY PROBE B FAST FACTS</h4></center>


<table>
<tr>

<td width="50%" valign="top">
A nearly-perfectly spherical gyroscope orbits in spacetime 400 miles above the Earth. At the beginning of the mission, the gyroscope's spin axis points at IM Pegasi, a distant star (along the Z-axis). After one year, theoretical calculations predict that the gyroscope's spin axis will turn in two directions: 42 milliarcseconds horizontally (towards the Y-axis) due to frame-dragging,and 6.6 arcseconds vertically (towards the X-axis) due to its orbit through
local curved spacetime, called the "geodetic effect". <p>
</td>

<td width="50%" valign="top">
Duration....................18-24 months<br>
Orbital altitude.........400 miles<br>
Gyroscope..................1.5-inch sphere<br>
Margin of error.......<0.5 milliarcsecond<br>
Telescope....................5.5-inch aperture, 14-inch length<br>
Dewar.........................608-gallon capacity, 9-foot height<br>
<table border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="10"><p>

Try putting the stuff outside the table inside a paragraph.

Did so...still no effect. The links listed are for some reason under the right side of the table....

Couple of things. The main problem is that you have what is called a "nesting error" of sorts.

After the listing of Deware you have this:
<table border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="10"><p>

Take that out, it serves nothing.


Also you don't really need that <p> tag after that long paragraph.

Are you wanting the listings to be under the paragraph? If so that is another issue.

Lastly, see the section:
Margin of error.......<0.5 milliarcsecond<br>

That less than sign is a reserved character for HTML. It will work in some browers but it is still a no no. Use "& l t ;" instead (with no spaces)


Later,
C:\

Was "& l t ;" supposed to be in brackets? Or no " "? I tried w/out quotes...still didn't work. But as for the links...yay!! They are now where they are supposed to be! Thanks! I copied and pasted that from somewhere else, I think I accadentally got too much. So thanks for catching that for me!
