hi there all,

Good Day!!!

i came across this property tag 
<fo:table absolute-position="absolute" left="1in" top="2in"> 
and tried to implement it however the tables still don't get 
horizontally aligned with each other

on the .xsl file
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<xsl:template match="table">
  <fo:table width="2in"
            table-layout="fixed"
            absolute-position="absolute"
            left="1in"
            top="2in">
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </fo:table>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="table2">
  <fo:table width="2in"
            table-layout="fixed"
            absolute-position="absolute"
            left="3.5in"
            top="2in">
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </fo:table>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="table3">
  <fo:table width="2in"
            table-layout="fixed"
            absolute-position="absolute"
            left="6in"
            top="2in">
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </fo:table>
</xsl:template>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


now on the .xml file
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<block_table>
<tgroup cols="1">
<colspec colname="col1" colwidth="2in"/>
<tbody>
<row>
<entry colnum="1" valign="top"><p>test </p></entry>
</row>
</tbody>
</tgroup>
</table>

<block_table2>
<tgroup cols="1">
<colspec colname="col1" colwidth="2in"/>
<tbody>
<row>
<entry colnum="1" valign="top"><p>test 2 </p></entry>
</row>
</tbody>
</tgroup>
</table>

<block_table3>
<tgroup cols="1">
<colspec colname="col1" colwidth="2in"/>
<tbody>
<row>
<entry colnum="1" valign="top"><p>test 3</p></entry>
</row>
</tbody>
</tgroup>
</table>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

however, instead the output becomes horizontally aligned, they turn 
out to become still vertically aligned... hmm i thought i had the 
solution already... hope to hear again from you all thanks... all the 
best!!!

pal,
benjohn
