two tier grid inside of a table

L

Larzo

I am trying to create this two tier type of grid which shows how many contiguous channels are allocated per group. It shows the channels in yellow
against a blue back drop. I use an absolute div inside a relative div.
This seems to work fine, but when I put the cells inside of a table TD and have other cells to the left in a different TD it causes a line break to occur. The html is below
