Well, yes and no. There are nested tables there but the light grey background is just a color attribute on the <BODY> tag and the dark grey table is a fixed-width table set to just fit on an 800x600 resolution screen. It centres itself at larger resolutions because it has <CENTER> tags around it. As Doug points out, this may not be the best design principle but it seems to work OK on the various screens and browsers that I've tried it on. The code validates OK and no one has complained about the way it looks so I haven't had the enthusiasm to amend it.
