Excuse my newbie coding because it's a Frankenstein mix of hundreds of email layouts, but can someone tell me why my table layout is not displaying the columned tables side-by-side?
It's the two td elements with the class name container-small at 50% width that won't position side-by-side. I'm not using float or divs.
Is it because they're separate tables when they should be part of the same td? Please feel free to make other amendments/suggestions so I can improve my layout. The left column must be 283px exactly, but the right column can be 100% fluid. That's really the only requirement.
