Thanks,
Sometime it is absolutely positioned.

Couldn't  the "if floated" solution be considered a hack? :-}

It is starting to sound as if my reasons for using one table once-and- awhile are still valid and that there are still some height issues with divs.

I've found the need to use one table as a base layout because
I still
cannot get a div to expand in height (no height defined) to
incompass
its nested content as a table cell does.

If your nested content is positioned absolutely, then there is
currently no plain vanilla way to get the div to expand.
If your nested content is floated, you can use a clearing element
(with clear: left|right|both; as appropriate) as the last item
in the div.
