Table trick to put sections next to each other

Does anyone have experience using <table> to put Sections next to each other? I have you used this trick before, and it works well. But it seems that report links and Formula URL buttons mess up the formatting and sections overlap.

Does anyone have experience with this or know how to combat the formatting issue when adding in report links?

    I use it in several places. Here is the example for the picture. Any field marked same row has (checked) next to it. All the text form elements are marked HTML (Limited)

    Section Heading: Administrative

    Field: Employee Manager

    Text: <table><td width = 50%><table>

    Section Heading: Schedule

    Field: Age (Business Hours)

    Field: Date Created (check)

    Field: Overdue (check)

    Field: Change Due Date

    Text: </table></td><td width = 50%><table>

    Section Heading: Assignment

    Field: Assigned To

    Field: Date Assigned (check)

    Field: Date Completed (check)

    Field: Resolution

    Text: </table></td></table>

    Text: <table><td width = 50%><table>

    Section Heading: Add Comments

    Field: Add Comment

    Field: Attempted Call

    Field: Attempted Email

    Field: Attempted Text Message

    Text: </table></td><td width = 50%><table>

    Section Heading: Comments

    Field: Comments

    Field: Combined Text Comments

    Text: </table></td></table>

      Thanks! I didnt know I could size the table like that. Oddly, I cannot have my field names above, as it really messes with the format. Wonder why yours works that way. Ill keep experimenting, thanks for the detailed response.

        I've had issues sometimes where I forgot to close a tag, forgot the slash when closing, or forgot to check HTML(Limited) on the text form element.
