Hi.
here is some of my table code from my star trek page, showing the cast and
actors, and part of star trek the next-generation.
now, want to have the name, part, and actor all on one line, with a space,
same with the actor and part all on one line, with a space.
but at the moment, is on two lines.
so how do i get this to read all on one line in html, using tables?
let me know on the forum or e-mail me privately.
will paste the code below.
cheers Marvin.

You seem to have <br> tags between cells, so no wonder some browsers may
break a line. Those tags are invalid in such positions anyway.

If problems remain, please reconsider whether this is an accessibility
problem. In any case, when asking for help with a specific page, post its
URL, not an extract of the page content.
