Paul,
Here are a couple of links on replacing tables with CSS that I found a couple of
months ago:

chapters from the book shown on the page. I have heard it isn't too bad.)

Oh, that p
The only way I could get the DT to line up with the DD when the DD
spanned multiple lines, was to insert a tag between DT DD pairs.
dl {
border:solid 1px red;
display:block;
width:400px;
float:left;
padding:0px;
margin:0px;
}
dt {
border:dashed 1px black;
display:block;

This code seems to do what you want.
dl {
border:solid 1px red;
display:block;
width:400px;
float:left;
padding:0px;
margin:0px;
}
dt {
border:dashed 1px black;
display:block;
width:1
Try using:
float: left;
on the .desc style. That might do the trick.

Thanks, I'm obviously just learning the CSS thing, and it didn't
occur to me to re-define the dt/dd tags :)

Section 6 of the CSS1 spec defines units. An "em" is the height of the
current font. By using em's, your style becomes more portable.

Hi,
I'm trying to create a web document using CSS. Though, what I want
to do really seems to lend it self to tables, unless there's
something I'm missing.
