Floating Tables?

I was wondering if there was a way i can have a table "float" in text without css, just html.
Ex:
_______
|table|texttexttexttexttexttext
|table|texttexttexttexttexttext
|table|texttexttexttexttexttext
texttexttexttexttexttexttexttex
ttexttexttexttexttexttexttextte
xttexttexttexttexttexttexttextt

any (good) reason why you don't want to use CSS?

I heard it wasnt good practice to uses css, except for very minor things on a page, for instance hover, active, etc on links, because it will look really messed up if the browser does not support css. I am trying to have login, and member info coming out of the side in a site. If css isnt enabled it would look very bad having a thin column of text, and a lot of white space on the side.
I realize that css has become stadard quite a while ago, however if it is possible to do it with html, i would rather use it. Thank you for any help

Unless I don't follow, just add align="left" to your table and text will hug it around and below.
