*sigh* Ahhhhh! Okay, let me try to bring myself back to insanity. Wow, html can really get on your nerves (especially if it's not working for you!). As you probably noticed.. I need help!

I have this layout I'm making and I can't seem to get the top text box aligned to where it should be. Can you not have 2 text boxes on a table? Or is my html just messed up? Please help me!

Thank you for your reply. I tried it but it still doesn't work. The bottom box is aligned right where it should be but the top box is wayyyyyy over to the right. I can't seem to get it adjusted.

I figured that if I take about the bold part of the html that the top text box moves all the way over to the left. If that helps anyone figure it out.

You have your table dived into 4 cells, why you only need two for the two boxes. This is how i got it right:

<table border="0" bordercolor="green" width="631" height="473" cellpadding="12" cellspacing="1" background="http://pics.horseland.com/pics1/horse3009471.jpg">
<tr><td align="right">
<span style="width: 212; height: 235; overflow: auto; align; right cellpadding: 5">
