That said... I too would like to know what people consider the criteria for table vs. css usage... With some less-obvious examples. To me, if the data is truly blocks of related data that one might see in a spreadsheet, that seems to be a good case for using regular html tables. But a few

Let's say I have two columns and there is a div in each column. If I add a margin-top to the left column, it pushes the div down in the other column when viewed in Firefox. Is this normal behavior or is it a bug? This does not happen in Opera or IE. Thanks, Mike

enough to wrap to the second line. Now I notice that the second line begins under the bullet and not justified to the same place as the first line of text. Any way to fix that? also, check that you don't have any text-indent as that will give you that behavior. ask me how I know ;)
