Tabular data is, of course, a completely different matter. Using tables is of course the best, most semantic way to present that sort of information. In fact, any attempts at "recreating" a table, but just with spans, divs and similar, is a futile, nay illogical exercise, as the end result can never have the same level of explicit association and relationship between the various data cells and the headings. But I can see how the thread starter's question seemed to imply a complete site layout, rather than tabular data specifically. P ________________________________ Patrick H.
