Can't make my tables format correctly? please help

Dear html forum members,

I'm trying to set a table up on my webpage
Here is my code with my question in red, buried within the code.

Why can't I make the table rows form correctly?

I'm working with a .txt. editor and internet explorer on XP system?

Regards,

hope that you can help.


<Table border>
<th>
<td colspan=325>spare</td>
</th>
<TR>
<TD rowspan=5 colspan=250>Welcome to<br>Charles<br>UUUU<br><right>Photography</right></TD>
<TD rowspan=5 colspan=75>Welcome to<br>Charles<br>UUU<br>Photography</TD>
</TR>
<! I CANNOT MAKE THE NEW LINE START HERE = WHY?>
<TR>
<TD rowspan=5 colspan=250>Welcome to<br>Charles<br>Puckle<br><right>Photography</right></TD>
<TD rowspan=5 colspan=75>Welcome to<br>Charles<br>Puckle<br>Photography</TD>
</TR>
</Table>

Upload your page onto a server and post the URL. Using a correct From
field may also help. Also specify what you mean by "correctly" in
rendering; most of us are novices in mind-reading.

Several points.

1. Your HTML has syntax errors. Use http://validator.w3.org/
2. Why do you have such insanely massive colspan and rowspan values?
3. That isn't tabular data. Use the right tool for the job.
