<!--colspan counts the number of columns in the NEXT tr just below declaration -->
<!--Also you have one table (not three) -->

<body>
<table border=1 frame=void cellspacing=0 cellpadding=4 style="width: 100%;">

<th colspan=20 align=center>
<h2>Limits</h2>
</th>

<!-- what is the empty space used for? -->
<!-- th align=left valign=bottom colspan=6></th -->


<th align=center valign=bottom colspan=6>Position Limits</th>
<th align=left valign=bottom colspan=4>Aim Order Limits</th>
<th align=left valign=bottom colspan=4>Actual Order Limits</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>

<!-- you are in the same table so you dont need a second declaration -->
<!-- table border=1 frame=void cellspacing=0 cellpadding=4 -->

<!-- why do you want another table ...why not use the initial table declaration from the top ? -->
