2. I have a multi-column layout... when I push the site to a layout for handheld I'll have to change the markup so that the table rows have only one cell in them each. This will also affect the screen and print versions of the site (so I'll have to do mutiple markup for the same content).
Which one is easier and better in the long run?
faffing around with rowspans and colspans can be frustrating as well. The difference being that one method has a future, the other doesn't.
Cheers James

standards are all well and good, and where possible I have no problem with adhering to the letter and spirit of webs standards, but sometimes things like wrap around tables are indispensible.
