Thanks Cheryl- I haven't moved away from tables as I understand that CSS positioning isn't supported in some of the older browsers. So far, the clients I have are small business and/or nonprofits where their customers may be on older machines. I use CSS for the other display elements however. I know people (and more than I would like to admit) still on Netscape 4 as they believe this is more secure. After all -- browser attacks are usually targeted at newer version (at least that is their belief). So they put up with old browsers. I cannot change their thinking and must accommodate it in the web design.
Most of these are low budget sites so I can't afford to do a table layout for older browsers and pure CSS layout for newer ones. I wonder how long it will be before *most* everyone is using a browser that fully supports CSS layout? Thanks for reminding me about csszengarden. I haven't been there for a bit.
