You make funny conclusions. > The situation I had where I wanted to control > column heights was when designing a fluid layout with image based > borders and corners.

And knowing that in advance, I won't waste the time doing it. As for your example, the question is, are you sure you found the only way to solve your problem? Because, while I don't mind that you settled on a table as the solution, I would like to see if I can recreate what you did in CSS. Maybe you have a link to this example? As an aside, I see it this way: it isn't about what CSS can't do. CSS can do anything that was ever done with layout tables. The only problem is browser support. And if you are saying to use layout tables to support old browsers, that's one story. You won't see me arguing against that. But at least admit that it's a hack. We are definitely off topic from the original thread, too. -- -- Christian Montoya christianmontoya.com ... rdpdesign.com ... cssliquid.com ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
