   I'm having a really frustrating problem whereby I cannot control the position of the previous_comments_link and next_comments_link.

   I've tried everything, from divs to tables, wrapping them in <p> and <span> tags but nothing seems to make any difference? They just sit side-by-side outside the flow of all the elements i try.

   For example:
   

   print '<table border="1"><tr><td>
   		 '.previous_comments_link('&laquo;').'
   		 </td><td>'.$cpage.'/'.$ctotal.'</td><td>
   		 '.next_comments_link('&raquo;').'
   	</td></tr></table>';

   I would have thought that this would force everything onto a straight line, but in face the previous and next_comments_link appear outside the table altogether!
   This is the result:
   

   <a href="linknotnecessary" >&laquo;</a><a href="linknotnecessary" >&raquo;</a><table border="1"><tr><td>
   
   		 </td><td>3/4</td><td>
   
   	     </td></tr></table>

   Anyone know why this is happening????
   Thanks for any input/suggestions

   Use get_previous_comments_link, get_next_comments_link instead.

   previous_comments_link and next_comments_link functions do not return values. So, functions executed, values echoed and then your string is put together and printed.
