Create Horizontal Widget?

[Budget101]

When creating a new widget "Recent Articles" - the items appear vertically in a list. How would you change the layout so that the articles appear Horizontally (or side by side)

like this:



I want to be able to create a "Read More" article widget for additional similar articles

but right now, they display vertically rather than horizontally. The current code I am using to create the widget is:

// Set Your Section ID Here
$section = '2,3,4,5';
// Set The Number of Articles To Display
$limit = '5';
// Set The Height of The Thumbnail Image
$height = '100';
// Set The Width of The Thumbnail Image
$width = '100';

$articlegrab = vB::$db->query_read("
SELECT ".TABLE_PREFIX."cms_nodeinfo.nodeid
, ".TABLE_PREFIX."cms_nodeinfo.title
, ".TABLE_PREFIX."cms_article.previewimage
, ".TABLE_PREFIX."cms_article.contentid
, ".TABLE_PREFIX."cms_node.nodeid
, ".TABLE_PREFIX."cms_node.parentnode
, ".TABLE_PREFIX."cms_node.contentid
, ".TABLE_PREFIX."cms_node.url
, ".TABLE_PREFIX."cms_node.setpublish
FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."cms_article
, ".TABLE_PREFIX."cms_nodeinfo
, ".TABLE_PREFIX."cms_node
WHERE (".TABLE_PREFIX."cms_nodeinfo.nodeid = ".TABLE_PREFIX."cms_node.nodeid)
AND (".TABLE_PREFIX."cms_article.contentid = ".TABLE_PREFIX."cms_node.contentid)
AND (".TABLE_PREFIX."cms_node.parentnode IN ($section))
AND (".TABLE_PREFIX."cms_node.setpublish != 0)
ORDER BY ".TABLE_PREFIX."cms_node.publishdate DESC LIMIT $limit
");
$output.="<table>";
while($articleinfo = vB::$db->fetch_array($articlegrab)) {

$title = $articleinfo['title'];
$image = $articleinfo['previewimage'];
$nodeid = $articleinfo['nodeid'];
$url = $articleinfo['url'];
$fulltext = strip_bbcode($fulltext);
$text = preg_replace('/\[ATTACH\=CONFIG\]\d\d\[\/ATTACH\]/', '', $text);
$text = strip_bbcode($text);


if($text == '') $text = substr($fulltext, 0,150);

if($image != '') $output .= "<tr><td><img src='".$image."' width='".$width."px' align='left' height='75' HSPACE='5' VSPACE='3'/></td>";

$output .= "<td><b><a href='content.php?".$nodeid."-".$url."' align='top'>".$title."</a><p>".$text." </b></p><br/></td></tr>";
}
$output.="</table>";

TIA!
