I've considered this approach, but unfortunantly <div> elements are
block-level elements.
This means that the divs are formatted only bellow any other text,
like <p> elements:
Some-text
+-----------+
| first div |
+-----------+
+--------------+
| second div |
+--------------+
Some more text
While it is not generally possible to achieve the following effects:
+--------------+
Some text | |
+--------------+
+--+
| |
+--+ | |
| | | |
Some more text +--+ +--+
Also I doubt if the divs will always obey the width and hight style.
For exaple the following does not work
<TABLE BORDER="1"><TR><TD><DIV STYLE="WIDTH:320px;
HIGHT:160px"> </DIV></TD></TR></TABLE>
Tables also are quite stubborn and trend to take not those sizes
that you gave them, but tables are better hope.
On the other side, we heed some inline-level HTML elements, while
tables are block-level too :-(
