 there are ways to

 This is proabbly the best to do in my situation

How about making something that is not a link look like a link?

 This page does validate both html and css.

You have padding on the a:hover, but not a{

This causes the links to indent when hovered.  Is this intentional?

Re: [css-d] Are table-based layouts still needed

 I wonder if someone has a good CSS solution for this table: Two columns, 
   the first is of images, one per row, but of varying heights, the 
 second is of descriptive text of varying - but multiline - amounts which 
 I wish to center vertically to the right of its image.

 Is there a good solution that works cross browser *without resorting to

This seems like a perfectly appropriate use of a table to me.  You could 
achieve a similar effect with an unordered list and floating images, but 
I don't think it would be very more machine reader friendly, and it 
would be much harder to get the alignment between the images and the 
text the way you have it..  You are not using tables to structure the 
page, only what can be reasonably considered tabular data on the page.

 absolutely positioned them inside a relatively positioned div.  Now the 
 footer is up behind the boxes.

Do you have a clear statement on the footer?  (e.g.  clear:all)

Re: [css-d] Absolute Floated Layout

 Hi List,

 Is there a way to combine floated divs with absolute 
 positioned divs for layout, without having the page
 behave erratically across several browsers? The page
 in question is: 

 http://template.dev.advance.net/impact/index.ssf 

 The company I work for would like the content area
 (FEATURED STORY/ALL STORIES FROM [DATE]:) column to
 appear at the top of the HTML document, right after
 the body tag for SEO purposes. While still retaining
 the look of the current layout. 

 What you should also know about this proposed request
 is that numerous hands have messed with the code. The
 CSS sheets being called are a mess and this is the
 first time I am dealing with it. They expect me to
 clean up the mess and give them what they want. 

 The other thing is that it is only coded to
 transitional standards which doesn't validate as is.
 And they use a proprietary platform called .ssf that
 behaves like a combination of frames and server side
 includes. The browsers we support are IE 6  7 and FF
 on PC and FF  Safari on Mac. 

 Basically, I've already told them I didn't think it
 was a good idea given the time frame and because I'm
 thinking floats and absolute might not mix well. And
 because the code is a mess, that it would be better to
 start from scratch (something which really can't be
 done at this point given the deadline). 

 So what I wanted to know from you guys is, is there
 any way to give them what they want and salvage this
 mess of a mess in a short amount of time? Or is this
 just really hopeless?

 All feedback welcomed. 

 TIA,
 Elli

It would help if we could see the page.  I got a request for login and 
password .  Do you think you could copy the html to a publicly 
accessible space?

Now that you mention it, the time I tried this, it worked for me in 
Firefox and not in IE.  Sorry.
