Sounds like I'm jumping in on this a little late, as Vince has chimed in for me (thanks), but yes, David, thanks for the suggestions and I can see some merits in CSS tables in certain circumstances (very interesting idea, really), but in this case, I couldn't see how it's going to work, and it l

Hey David (H), I've looked at each of your suggestions. There's some very nice techniques there. I'm not sure they solve my problem though. The layout ones are cool and a neat way of arranging things reliably and consistently, although I'll need to dig deeper to really understand what they
