Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Problem with figure next to table

[Shizzle]

Hi,

I'm trying to put a figure next to a table and used the minipage command. Still the figure shows up under the table. What did i do wrong? (i dont know how to show the code in a nice window, sorry...)

Thx,
Matthijs

\begin{table}[h!]
\begin{minipage}{0.6\linewidth}
\centering
\begin{tabular}{||c|c|c||}
\hline
Druk (mbar) & Energie (keV) & Afstand (cm)
\\
\hline\hline
...
...
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{minipage}
\end{table}
\hspace{0.5cm}
\begin{figure}[h]
\begin{minipage}{0.4\linewidth}
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[width=0.6\textwidth]{EnergieAfstand}
\end{center}
\caption{...}
\label{fig:EnergieAfstand}
\end{minipage}
\end{figure}

It's just a button in the list right above the input window. For more information see the Forum Guide. Please post full examples and not useless code snippets.

The described behaviour is quite normal since float environments are never positioned side by side. The caption manual has an interesting example how to merge a table and figure and put them side by side in one environment with a customized caption.
