All right, if Dave says use tables, then I'm using tables. :) Seriously, this is the way that I was leaning, and since I've written the email, I already have the page written in tables. I'm so much faster at that than css, just wanted to make sure that I was sane in my reasoning to use tables here. It was easy to fall back on the crutch. :)
Thanks all. And I'll check out the css pocket reference. Sounds right up my alley.
