Geoff, If a table layout works for you, the project, and the client then go for it. I understand the frustrations you have outlined. There really are some things that are easier to do with tables. Personally, I never layout a page with tables anymore because I need to keep the stuff in my portf

[css-d] can apply style inline but not in style sheet

On this page: http://checkoutacollege.com/ I am trying to apply a background color in back of the Ready/Set/Go buttons (of the same color) so that if the images are turned off, the text can still be read. (I'd like to just get rid of the beveled images before long!). Do accomplish this, I bel

[css-d] CSS replacement for table layouts

Sorry for the long post, but I've been thinking about this for over a year now, and it's been asked many times before without a viable answer that is actually reliably workable in a production environment. The bottom line is, I still have to resort to using tables for grid-based layouts, becau

I have a child that just won't behave! I have a left hand navigation bar that has a list with an image in the background for the bullet. It is styled like this: #navLeft ul { padding-left:0; margin-left:0; list-style:none; } #navLeft ul li { paddin

[css-d] fractions in font-size

Continuing on my quest to improve the readability of the site I manage, I'm playing around with font-sizes and am wondering about fractions of units (100ths in ems, and 10ths in pixels). For example, in IE7 at least, there is no difference in rendering .71em or .8em. It appears that .7 up to .79e

[css-d] About The font size...

I've notice that the main gurus of this mailing-list are always telling us: "pay attention to user options and let the browser do the math". Those are not totally separate statements I believe, but, about the user options, even if the most of the users don't even know about the font-size option, i
