Erm, you can do it in a table, but you need php, and it won't dynamicaly update.

To do it, create the table, and in the <td> tags, enter

Code: Select all

<?php
include("path/to/file.php");
?>

Then you need to change the file name of the page that the table is in to 'filename.php' instead of .htm etc...

I would recommend that you use an iframe though;

<iframe name='iframe' width='x' height='x' src='path/to/phpfile.php'></iframe>

Hope this helps
