Dreamweaver agrees with you about the tag soup - it's poo, and I can't
be fagged digging through the code by hand.
However, I think the issue is simply that the left and right columns
need to have valign="top" applied to them. If you grow the text in
Firefox, you see that the left and right col contents remain centered
vertically as the longest centre col stretches.
Incidentally, I think you are overstating the case about not using
nested tables, and the thing about image maps being a technology that is
difficult to work with, I quite simply do not understand.
They are valid HTML and AFAIK have no browser issues - what's the
problem using image maps? As long as you have alt attributes on the map
areas there are few access issues.
Cheers
Ian
