Thanks for the advice, Deanna. Got to get to know those div's...and I really couldn't see, at lease initially, how CSS could make displaying "tabular data" earier than displaying it in a "tabular" design, i.e., "tables"...
The reuse aspect of sites has always been something I've been interested in pursuing...design once, use with many clieints. but be able to easily change the styling to make it "unique" to them.

You should be aware that when you're talking about "layers" you're not really referring to an actual CSS thingy. That's Dreamweaver's way of explaining CSS in a visual environment. There's no such thing as a "layer" really - just divs and other markup that's positioned via CSS. There are definitely advantages to doing stuff in CSS - things like easily swapping in a print stylesheet to drop your navigation elements when printing, ease of maintenance, etc. There are definitely reasons to learn this stuff. And, it fits nicely with CF - after all - you're still just rendering html. That being said - tables are for tabular data. Use them.
