I know of no better place to ask. This may not be strictly a PHP issue,

I am busting my hump trying to format rather large input pages with CSS
and trying to avoid tables; but it looks to me like I am wasting my time
as positioning with CSS seems an impossibly tortuous exercise. I've
managed to do some pages with CSS, but I feel like I am shooting myself
in the foot or somewhere...
Perhaps I am too demanding. I know that with tables, the formatting is
ridiculously fast.
Any thoughts, observations or recommendations?
PJ:
You have a choice:
1. Learn css and do it right;
2. Use tables.
If you are in a time pinch, number 2 will suffice enough to get it
past a client (besides, what do they know anyway). But number 1 is
really the best way to go. Never use tables to hold a layout together.
I know, I have clients who *require* me to use tables for their
layout and I must bite my lip and comply. But, more and more clients
are listening to reason as they discover it really is better way to
go.
Cheers,
