Need help with whats new box code

[edski]

Hiya i'm designing my oscommerce to suit i theme i got and im enjoying learning how to modify bits and bobs of the code.

 

Ive ran into a bit of a problem i wish to display 2 whats new items next to each other, while i managed to sort out the code to generate 2 different images i now have the problem of getting them to display side by side.

 

Normally in my dreamweaver i would use the following code :-

<table width="234" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
 <tr> 
<td width="117" height="120" valign="top"><!--LayoutEmptyCell--> </td>
<td width="117" valign="top"><!--LayoutEmptyCell--> </td>
 </tr>
</table>

 

then i would put the image into the empty cells, but looking at the whats new code i'm wondering where to start :-

							 'text' => '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $random_product['products_id']) .

new whatsnewBox($info_box_contents);
}
?>
		</td>
	  </tr>

<!-- whats_new_eof //-->
<?php
 }
?>

 

you will see the code i used to generate 2nd image but if anyone could give me an idea of how i can achieve my goal i would be grateful.
