Well in my opinion, you should not be using table for anything other than a
small matrix of information.

Tables where never intended to be used for laying out the entire page. I say
do the decent thing - separate your

content from layout and use CSS and XHTML 1.0. Don't worry about lowly NE
4.x, simply so  a sniffer script and

remove the css from the pages that get passed to them .

For more details see :- http://www.alistapart.com
<http://www.alistapart.com>  - loads of great articles about css / xhtml /
validation / fly fishing...



Before I embark on my latest endeavor, I'd like to get a few opinions on the

matter of layout design. What's the consensus among web authors right now?
Are
table layouts still the One True Way, or has the W3C and CSS2 Positioning
opened
the door to something better?
