a non css solution. (as requested)

make 1 table, , place each table within cell naturally falls columns

<table>   <tr>     <td>       <table>         <!-- left table -->       </table>     </td>     <td>       <table>         <!-- right table -->       </table>     </td>   </tr> </table>

it better float divs columns instead though

css

.floatleft {   width: 50%;   float: left; } 

html

<div class="floatleft">   <table></table> </div> <div class="floatleft">   <table></table> </div>
