    Hi guys, hopefully you can help me out here. Please see files attatched so you understand what I am talking about. (Picture to see table & actual html file to check codes)

    What I want to do, is be able to have "Row 1" longer, and "Row 2" shorter. Is this possible in a table? If not, what can I do to make 2 lists, where 1 is longer than the other.

    Thanks in advance, any help is appreciated!

    or something like this.... There's literally a 100 ways you can do it, best way is via CSS.

    Code:
    <table width="100%" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2">
<tr valign="top">
<td> left
</td>
<td rowspan="2"> right
</td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
<td border="0"> bottom
</td>
</tr>
</table>

    I just saw your last post. But here's mine before I try yours.

    Now I just want Row 2 to be Up instead of in the center.

    And probably the easiest way to do it as I said with CSS.

    Code:
    <html>
  <head>
<style type="text/css">
 #leftcontent 
  {
  float:left;
  color: #000000;
  background: #FF0000;
  width: 300px;
  height: 600px;
  text-align: center;
  }

    
  #rightcontent 
  {
  color: #FF0000;
  background: #000000;
  width: 300px;
  height: 300px;
  text-align: center;
  }

</style>

   
  </head>

  <body>
    <div id="leftcontent">
      Left Text
    </div>

    <div id="rightcontent">
      Right Text
    </div>
  </body>
</html>
    The info in the style tag can be placed in a external document, name it format.css and add make sure to delete the style tags from the html doc and do not add them to the css doc.

    Add this between the head tags for an external stysheet, in this instance it should be the only thing between the head tags..

    Code:
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="format.css">
    You can apply multiple formatting using CSS to a sngle tag or entir document. This is why it's so great. If you have a a large site and every html doc is linked to a single stylesheet you can for instance change the color of the background for the entire site just by changing a single line of code.

    Ok Thanks, I appreciate your help... I'll most likely use that css code, it looks good.
