you can't put two tables side by side unless you use CSS for postioning or wrap the two tables in another table.
Using rowspan and/or colspan is a better option.

You don't really want two tables side by side. If CSS is out of the question, then what I would do is simply nest some tables.

for example >>> Left Column would have Table 1, and Right Column would have Table 2.

<table>
<tr>
  <td>
    <table><tr><td>Content for Table 1</td></tr></table>
  </td>
  <td>
    <table><tr><td>Content for Table 2</td></tr></table>  
  </td>
</tr>
</table>
'

Keep in mind this is not ideal as nesting tables can sometimes lead to other problems, but if done right it will work. If you want to try CSS its a way better option.
