Is it possible to make css behave like tables??

http://www.nssdesign.scot.nhs.uk/about_us/whoweare.php

If you use the browser to enlarge the text size to largest things get a bit 
messy.
Is there a way to prevent the size of the text or at least detect it?? I want 
things to exand to fit the way HTML tables do.

I suppose I could add overflow:auto to the boxes but his is a bit of a rubbish 
solution. Also when I switch the css off I get a messy text only version. 

I have been working using the great book 'the zen of css design' but i have a 
problem. When I go to the pages (http://csszengarden.com/ )they all use fixed 
text sizes but are AAA and 508 compliant?? If I am providing an alternative 
text only/low graphics  version is this enough to comply with the standards? 
How can they use fixed text and still comply?

One last thing.....Does anyone know the best way to make tidy css-less  
versions of complex pages

I want my page to look like this.....
http://www.nssdesign.scot.nhs.uk/text_only/whoweare_txt.php

but ALL the options of the dropdown menu are shown - a massive list (turn of 
the css on http://www.nssdesign.scot.nhs.uk/about_us/whoweare.php ) and you 
will see what I mean. Can I detect a when the CSS is turned off and redirect to 
my own text only version?

Any hints, tips or ideas will be much appreciated. 

R.
