Hi Chris, To echo what Wayne says - Visual Studio 2005 is MUCH better when it comes to css/standards layouts. Unfortunately it is still fairly new, and so not going to be commonly used for a wee while.
When dealing with older .net stuff - like I also currently am - yes it is a headache. How closely do you work with these developers? Currently I am battling with 30 odd validation errors on each page because of what Visual studio is putting in. In short, it helps a lot to have the doctype as HTML 4 strict (unless you have to use xhtml?). If they are telling you to use tables for stuff other than data tables, then they need to get their act together. They should have no problems bringing your html in. One thing that could be causing a problem is if they are needing to use the id values for .net stuff then you need to change your styles into classes instead. However even that isn't a common occurrence. They need to make sure that they ARE using YOUR code and not putting their <asp:Table> stuff around everything. They don't need to be there! If you see they have put those around your opening div tags which I imagine is causing most of the problems at this stage. All the best!
