css styling with html

How can I have this other box display at the bottom of the first one?

If you try this code, these 2 boxes will be displayed together:
A B

And I would like it to be like this:
A
B

Thanks

=== now this is what I did: but it goes to the left side. I want it to stay in the right side. Here is the whole code:

             <html> 
 <head>
<title>*|MC:SUBJECT|*</title>
     <meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> 
     <style type="text/css" media="screen">
        p{margin-bottom:10px;}

        /** 
        * @tab Page 
        * @section background color 
        * @tip Choose a color for your HTML email's background. You might choose one to match your company's branding. 
        * @theme page 
        */ 
        body { 
            /*@editable*/ background-color:#FFFFFF;

        }

Instead of using tables, you can use <div>s to build your boxes. <div> elements, by default, align one after another... but you can use CSS to style them and position them as you would like.

Check out the following link to see what I did with your design.

If you have questions about what I did or how I did it, let me know and I'll be happy to explain in full detail.

Hope this helps!

If you're just using the table for laying out individual elements, you can (and should) use CSS for that. Just make 'td's into divs, and they'll be laid out one below the other automatically. Then, if you want to change positioning later on, you can just update your CSS instead of rearranging table structure.

I found a nice series of helpful tutorials at http://www.htmldog.com/guides/ when changing layouts from table-based to css-based.

You can solve this by changing the TD's into TR's. (This changes it from two columns to two rows)
