This issue has been resolved, Thanks for the help

to start can you please take all 3 files and put it in ONE file to make sure the problem comes from CSS and not from your tables, very often when you play with including headers and footers you have table problems.

If its css, i suggest you play with positions :

from this :



to this :



This should make it so the nav and the content area are in the same line but the nav floated left, as well with your content but you set a certain margin to your content so it goes a litle bit on the right (just as your css saids)

Thanks for your help Your method seems like a good idea, but I resolved my problem. It turns out I forgot to add another column in my table for the content, that's why it remained in the same column as the navigation bar. It was your reply that gave me the idea, so thanks

as usual...
