Since I'm the guilty party that started this again, I'd just like to say
thks for all the info - I will make it a point to read the Zen book. As
an OO, MVC person I support the idea of CSS. But for now, I find tables
more reliable and thus, faster to get things up and going - then go back
with CSS and incrementally beautify the pages, one at a time. And in
that way, gain the knowledge for rock solid CSS without too risk and
much frustration. Call it an agile CSS approach.
