css - HTML — Two Tables Horizontally Side by Side

Question

I'm trying to display tables next to each other horizontally, but this is what I'm getting.

<tr>
<th>
      <span onclick="toggleDiv('favData', 'favDataImg')" style="cursor: hand;">Favorites <img   name="favDataImg" src="../images/minus.gif" /></span>
</th>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td style="width: 300px; text-align: left; padding-right: 30px;">
<div id="favData" style="display: block;">
<fieldset style="width: 240px;">
<legend>Favorites</legend>
<table border="0" align="left">

<input type="radio" name="publicRadio" value="Public" >Public: </input>

<select  name="publicDropDown">
<option value="Public Dropdown" selected="selected">Public Dropdown</option>
</select>

<br><br>
<input type="radio" name="userRadio" value="User" >User: </input>

<select  name="userDropDown">
<option value="User Dropdown" selected="selected">User Dropdown</option>
</select>

<br><br>
<input type="radio" name="customRadio" value="Custom" >Custom: </input>

</table>
</fieldset>


<fieldset style="width: 240px;">

One can use float: left or display: inline-block depending on content and space:

<table style="display: inline-block">

<table style="float: left">
