Jan, while you're experimenting, try a totally fluid design sans table.
css
.left{float:left; width:32%;}
.next{clear:both;}
xhtml
<div class="left">stuff</div>
<div class="left">stuff</div>
<div class="left">stuff</div>
<div class="next"></div>
That will give you 3 columns with a little extra to handle cross-browser
width calculation problems. Be sure to clear or you get really interesting
results when the browser tries to cram the next box in the 1% left over.
Or a more complex design:
css
.nav{float:left; width:22%;}
.main{float:left; width:77%;}
.dual{float:left; width:48%;}
.next{clear:both;}
xhtml
<div class="nav">navigation</div>
<div class="main">Introduction
<div class="dual">Left column</div>
<div class="dual">Right column</div>
</div>
<div class="next"></div>
With current browsers (post 4x) you can actually combine classes which makes
the css even more flexible. Although this does tend to annoy some people.
When using tables in css, read the Table chapter closely. The rules are
different for table markup.

I am still using tables for layout, and most of the css thread
was about padding, margins, and how to center a table.
Believe me, I'm definitely going to learn how to do tables in my
css instead of my html pages. You just won't be able to believe
how much I have decreased my download times by improving, and
using more css.
