Pete, Well asking the PHP list for help on CSS is not right. You might want to check the CSS list or just view their FAQ/Wiki page http://css-discuss.incutio.com/.
I agree. sticking with CSS for all site design when you've spent so many year on tables is a difficult challenge. Anyone who works with client's deadline has to go with what is quick. Normally the client doesn't care Tables vs. CSS. It would be nice to have the time to learn all the CSS hacks to get you site to layout the same in IE and FF. But who includes that much time in their project budgets.
