11,901 PointsReally need a 1990's table layout wizz to understand this problem, help is much in need please people.
The following link shows a page with code I'am not used to at all, it is using the old table style layout however seems to be coded in a way quite hard to understand like tags which are not closed etc. Is that normal?
All I want to do, which is why so frustrating as normally so easy, is to delete the right column (images & text), then have the text (currently in the middle) stretch across the page.
When I try this, i can delete the right column, but then when I increase the width of the Personal Training section text the whole site shifts to the left and it seems pushing against something on the right.
Is there a simple explanation or is this too big job to post on the forum to look at this crazy coding. Hopefully one of you more experienced table designers could help me out or guess an answer.
Many thanks in advance if anyone can help, and heres the address for the page I'am having issues with.

I remember making such pages in early 2000s, the key is using the colspan attribute properly and removing fixed column widths ;).

7,385 PointsIs there a specific reason you want to keep it laid out in tables? It's a pretty simple site. It shouldn't be too hard to do the layout in css instead. I realize that doesn't answer your question - just curious.
