HTML - Placing Un-aligned Images / Scattered?

I want to use <a href="...">thumbnail.png</a> or something similar to place an image in a layer on a different part of the same page.
Can this be done in HTML or do I need to write something else?
Or am I asking the impossible??
I'd like to avoid calling another page as this could result in slow performance, and I'm trying to avoid using frames.
The various layers on the page are defined in CSS.

I've managed to do this much of a page myself, putting the first image in the upper left corner using <table>, but all of my attempts to place another image in the upper right corner have failed. I'm trying to do it in separate tables:


Code:

<img>
<left></left>
<table style="text-align: left; width: 25%;">
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td align="left" width="100%"><img
 src="http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/8c949126f0375905b2efe0813fda35e44g.jpg"
 alt="A Barbarian Dwarf" mouseover="A Barbarian Dwarf"
 align="left" border="0" height="385" width="260"></td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

I've tried doing it this way:

Code:

<img><right></right><table style="text-align: right; width: 25%;">
<tbody><tr><td align="right" width="100%"><img src="" alt="" mouseover="" 
align="right" border="0" height="385" width="260"></td></tr></tbody></table>

But it keeps placing the 2nd image under the 1st one....huh

Perhaps this really belongs in the CSS section, but it seems more of a HTML issue to me, so I'm sticking it here. :p Here's my question! I've got a set of links, and I used an external CSS sheet to make it so that when the links are hovered over, the image changes. That all works fine and dandy, but now the links are lined up one on top of another. I'd like to make them sit next to one another, like so: http://img411.imageshack.us/my.php?i...lllinksgy4.jpg

How can I do this? I've tried adjusting the table tr height and I tried to put the links in a div layer, but the divs of the CSS code seem to be overiding everything else. I'm really not sure what else to try, and any help would be entirely welcome.

This is the page I'm working on:

and these are the particular links in question:

<div class="nav">
<a href="http://www.freewebs.com/ramsus-kun/Suikogaiden/Home.htm">

Please help anyone...

even though they appear normally aligned and centered from inside DW all my table are aligned left when previewed in a Firefox. It's all good in IE.

Have spent half of a day trying to figure it out

<table width="527" height="2180" border="1" align="center">
<tr>
<td><span class="style23">xxxxx</span></td>
</tr>
</table>

I doubt that this means much but here is one of the tables.

If it means something, this started to happen when I had to put a whole book online for one of my customers that had problems downloading it. So, in the process I copy/pasted from Word to DW. I had to do it. I know that these kind of things can sc... everything up so I made sure that I first cleared all the formatting from Word.

So, I'm in a pickle now...
