[thelist] forms and css

In reply to a question about forms and css I got several replies that showed how you would layout something like

<div> <label/>  <input/> <span/> <input/> <span/> >/div>

This involved 'floating' the first label to the left and specifying its width.  This made the rest line up nicely, however, my more difficult forms are of the form below.

header
input label input label
input label input label
    .....
input label input label


Css seems to have limited ablility to specify horzontal and vertical positioning such as tables gives you, without going the route of laying everything out as absolute positioned divs.

Any help would be appreciated.  Even if it is just a suggestion to stick with tables.
