A few matters arise from this thread:
[A] Tables are not bad. They are for tabular data, and they are by far the
best way to handle tabular data. Where they have been criticised is where
they have been used for layout. That's what CSS is for.
[B] I suggest you dont put any cellspacing, cellpadding, border info in the
table tags, but instead wrap the table in a <div class="whatever" tag and
put the styling, padding, borders etc in the style sheet. Gives you much
better consistency across the site, keeps the html clean and lean and makes
everything look better anyway.
[C] If you're interested in the subject of CSS, you can't go past having a
look at the web standards group. There's a whole lot of friendly folks
learning how it all works and they're as valuable a resource for CSS as
CF-Talk is for ColdFusion. There are LOTS of newbies learning CSS, so you
can feel relaxed about asking a real newbie question. Also the web standards
group has a terrific site with lots and lots of resources. I reckon the
CSS/web standards guys have the best library of blogs and tutorials and
heaps and heaps of sample code in any discipline I work with. The WSG web
site is at http://webstandardsgroup.org/
