No, I didn't say this. I think the best thing is to never let tables be 
involved in layout in any way. To achieve the effect you want, see the 
link I sent earlier. It doesn't advocate using tables, but has to turn 
the markup into tables using JavaScript if you want to support IE.

That's your only option -- or abandoning the sliding doors technique 
altogether and just going the full table route, with each tab made up of 
three table cells, but that method makes kittens cry, so I don't 
recommend it. :-)

Keep in mind, however, that there's no way to keep the tabs from 
wrapping onto another line, unless you want to let their text overlap 
each other, which is far worse. Although you think wrapping tabs look 
bad, remember that this is far more accessible than any other option. If 
you can't handle it, I think you should just make the tabs images and be 
done with it (I've been known to do this myself; see www.hsrc.unc.edu).
