Tim,
Using tables is not necessary for this more complicated structured
list, but it is the one thing they supposed to be used for. It would
still be valid 'web standards' markup.
Having said that I can see why there is a gap. The box containing the
bar is fluid. The class 'desc' floats to the right and causes this gap,
but only when the browser window is wide enough. (scale the browser
window).
Each grey bar element has a fixed width, and thus so should the
containing box. The 'display' implementation of tables in CSS2 across
browsers is not yet sufficient to be useful. Tables would be better. (a
case in point: http://www.pga.com/openchampionship/)
hope it helps,
Egor Kloos
