how do i put an image to the right?

heh... i couldnt paste all table code here, it was 3045 characters to long. .according to the red thingy that came up and told me.

To the people saying to "just use a table," you may be right, but let's suppose for a minute that the image @mikeman provided was for the layout of a proposed website. In that case, <div>s or more semantic elements would be more appropriate.

Here's some quick code for a general idea of how to create that type of layout:

<div id="left-col">
<div class="row"></div>
<div class="row"></div>
<div class="row"></div>
</div>

<div id="right-col">
<div class="row"></div>
<div class="row"></div>
<div class="row"></div>
</div>

<footer></footer>

#left-col {
    float: left;
    width: 300px;
}
#right-col {
    margin-left: 300px;
    width: 100px;
}
.row {
    height: 20px;
    border: 1px solid #000;
    border-bottom-width: 0;
}
.row:last-child {
    border-bottom-width: 1px;
}
#left-col .row {
    border-right-width: 0;
}
footer {
    clear: both;
    width: 398px;
    height: 50px;
    border: 1px solid #000;
    border-top-width: 0;

@ChristopherBurton, right, and I would probably use a table as well, but without actually seeing the information he is putting into it, it's really a matter of opinion of whether it would be considered tabular data or not.

I posted the code as an example to others that might find it useful who may not be creating a layout that is best represented by a table.

@Adman, I didn't check his website, and I'd like to reiterate that I'm not suggesting that tables aren't the right approach for this.

The example I gave was to create the layout he requested, not to spark a debate about the semantics of tables.

@ChristopherBurton, it looks like you're getting hung up on whether this is a good use case for tables, and I've already made it very clear that I agree it is.

As for my statement of not seeing the information he will be using in that layout, it still stands. To "display song title - artist and then a Buy button" is not enough information to know what the finished version of that layout will look like. What if he includes a description, images, links to reviews, etc.? Maybe a table would still be the best choice, but you're starting to enter a gray area. I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt.

At any rate, I consider the original question of how to recreate the layout solved, and now we're veering off topic.

Final disclaimer: I do not advocate the use of excessive divs to recreate tabular markup. A table is the semantically appropriate element for tabular data.

No one is fighting? Lol

But it's quite simple, he would have explained that in the original post in which he didn't.
Your argument is "what if" and originially made this off topic by marking up the incorrect solution that was already solved. That's all I really have to say.

xD @Adman where? you said Here as in heres a link maybe? :)
