i was trying to put table inside a table like this:

            <table>
                <tr>
                    <td>Filename</td>
                    <td>Size</td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <table>
                        <tr>
                            <td>my cool file name</td>
                            <td>654 KB</td>
                        </tr>
                    </table>
                </tr>
            </table>

the reason i want to do this is to set the second table a height
and than overflow:auto so the second table have a scroll bar to scroll down
is that possible , and it it does , how?

    You still need a <td>/<th> within a <tr> tag, so add either of those between your <tr> & nested <table> (and probably apply colspan="2")

    Also, off the top of my head I’m not sure if the <td>/<th> supports an overflow with scrolling, but if not you can always wrap the nested <table> in a <div> and style it.
