make a list of child tables wrap

[cronoklee]

Hi, I have an undefined number of small tables one after another which
list results from a database. I really need for them to wrap to the
next line if / when they hit the edge of the page but I can't find an
option to do this. I've tried align="left" which works fperfectly or
images but not for tables. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks a lot

CSS is your answer, in your stylesheet:

TABLE.results { float: left; margin: .5em; }

your Markup:

<table class="results">
<tr>
<td>data</td>...

You can wrap divs:

<div style="float: left"> . . . </div>
<div style="float: left"> . . . </div>

So, whilst I've not tried it I would imagine (if I've understood correctly
what you after) that you might get what you are after by applying the style
float:left to your tables.

Hope this helps.
