>>do you think table-based layouts still need to be used for some 
particular layouts?<<

Not really.

 >>In other words, can pure CSS layouts do everything a table-based 
layout can do?<<

Yes, save a single exception :)

I haven't done a table-based layout in a looooooong time.  Haven't 
needed to, because I've only found *one* layout - and it was a 
hypothetical one - that I can't currently make work with CSS.  No one's 
ever actually *needed* it done, and I've never seen one used, but I 
could see it *possibly* being needed, and as of right now, I've been 
unable to successfully pull it off.

I'm not an expert like many of these guys on the list, so they may scoff 
at my ineptitude, but for me, this is the only exception I've ever had. 
  It's a 5 column nested layout, 100% width, with 2 headers and a sticky 
footer.  Oh, and every column/row has to have a different background 
color without using "faux columns".

In other words, a header; a footer that stays at the bottom of the 
screen (unless the content pushes it down); a left, and right sidebar. 
The main content - in the center - has to have a nested header with a 
left and right sidebar, content in the middle.  100% width and height.

I haven't been able to pull this one off yet.  I've come *really* close. 
  but so far, this is the *only* exception I've found.
