&gt; &gt; I didn't look at the original email, so apologies if this isn't
&gt; &gt; relevant (but in most cases it tends to be):  tables should not be
&gt; &gt; used to control layout!  CSS is more than up to the job, and is the
&gt; &gt; right tool for the job.  Table-based layouts are a pain in the neck
&gt; &gt; and are a nasty hack.  And any time I hear talk of nested tables etc.,
&gt; &gt; I can only sigh..

&gt; Any time I hear someone talk about CSS, I can only sigh.  If you're 
&gt; going to do any amount of CSS, you'll end up with at least two different
&gt; 
&gt; sets, one for IE and one for everyone else.  CSS is hardly the perfect 
&gt; solution.  I can throw a table together with my eyes shut, and in most 
&gt; cases, it works with all browsers.  CSS on the other hand, as I've noted
&gt; 
&gt; is going to have you coding to sets of CSS for the browsers.
&gt; 
&gt; I'm not saying tables is a better solution, I'm just saying be prepared 
&gt; for double work with CSS.
