Showing your server-side source isn't really the best thing to do 
even if you see no risk at all.

This does have a structure similar to a table, so why bothering? Use 
a table instead. The point is not using tables for presentation, but for 
tabular data. If you have a structure similar to this, then you do 
believe that your data (labels and fields) is meaningless if it isn't 
tabulated. A possible variation is the use of data lists (DL), which 
also make sense (that's the point of not using tables for design).

Now, in this particular case you aren't giving any extra value, on 
the contrary, you're just creating a mess. There are tags such as LABEL 
that are supposed to be used with forms, but they are ignored in favor 
of SPAN. Therefore, the reason to build this, as far as I see, is 
nothing more than a exercise (and not the best).

Christopher, David already gave you a couple of examples that could 
be helpful, but if you need any more help it would be really nice to 
have an idea of what you want (e.g. link to an image) and, if 
applicable, what you have done so far (e.g. link to your work).

Regards.
Rafael.

Half the battle is getting a base layout that will work cross-browser. 
Here are some that will do that (if you mind well what you put inside them):


Best,

[css-d] Div and Tables

[Christopher]

Has anyone here created a site using just div ? I've gotten some help on 
this subject matter but it's still proving a bit
frustrating for me and I'm considering just designing using tables.  If 
you have a site you created using div I wouldn't mind
seeing it I have to get this site designed in 2-3 days tops.
