In a couple of respects - it doesn't cut it for what I'm trying to do. Sorry
I should have provided a bit more back ground.

I'm working on an intranet & I want all my view pages and add/edit forms to
be presented as two column layouts (captions on the left & values on the
right). 

I've got to account for pretty much any combination of values in both the
left & right columns. Basically I want it to behave like a two column table
with vertical-align top on each cell, however I think that dl/dt/dd is
probably a better way to code this because you don't have to worry about
rows and its more semantically correct (IMHO).

You're page presents correctly with the existing content, but its not
flexible in that if you have long values in the left column things start to
go wrong.

For example if you replace <span class="addressTitle">address</span> with
<span class="addressTitle">this here is the address of the office</span> you
get text overlapping :( 

Also its not an "anything but a table" situation, its more just that I'd
ideally like to use a definition list. I'm pretty sure I could trick a
definition list to behave like your setup but I'd still have the problem I
mentioned before.

I appreciate the suggestion, but I don't think its going to work for me this
time.

Yeah I was there all right :) I missed your central preso - was busy
learning about Java & CF. In all honesty I'm going through a bit of an
anti-flash stage at the moment - mostly because I got lumped with something
I couldn't really do and tortured myself with it for about 3 weeks - the
memory still causes me to break out in cold sweats.

There were so many people at MXDU that I wanted to meet but never got the
chance. Maybe next year it'll run for a week :)


Cheers
