Table and Forms and Fieldsets - Width problem

Until I die, I will never quite understand tables - if someome could shed some light on this it would allow me to keep what little hair I have left.

I have a Table with some form inputs in it as outlined below, the problem is this, there is what looks like a 15px space on the right side and I don't know why its there.

Two questions: Size="18" - 18 what? I read that these are the size of a space, but if it is, what is the size of a space? Second, width="50" - 50 what? I am assuming pixels, but with all the problems I seem to have with tables, I'm not sure.

<fieldset style="width: 260px"><LEGEND class="legend">
<table width="260">
<tr>
<td width="240"><input type="text" size="18" etc.>
<td width="20 align="right">There is a 10 x 10 graphic here</td>
</tr>
</table>
</fieldset>

Hope I made sense, any help or guidlines that could ease my life with tables would be appreciated.

Thx

JoeyD will become famous soon enough
Give your cells ids or classes if applicable, and define the widths in percentages or pixels in your stylesheet.

You can also style your <fieldset>, <form>, <legend>, and <label> tags, make them pretty.
