Tables may be quicker when you are used to using them, but they are nasty, hard to maintain, compromise accessibility and semantics, and are just plain wrong. They are artifacts from a certain period of the web and should now be returned to their rightful place as display containers for tabulra data. Trust me, I am learning css and finding it a challenge, but the more your learn the more you understand and in the future you will be a cutting-edge happier designer, as table layout will one day be totally redundant. A great book on css is Cascading Style Sheets (friendsofed.com) and for the next level CSS Mastery (again friendsofed). _________________________________________________________ > -- http://www.web-buddha.co.uk dynamic web programming from Reigate, Surrey UK (php, mysql, xhtml, css) look out for project karma, our new venture, coming soon! ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
