Thanks for all the help, people. Unfortunately none of the examples given solve the basic problem, which is that with anything other than tables, I cannot get multiple boxes across the screen that have the same height on every row, without specifying a fixed height.
Mike's example (http://www.english-sofas.co.uk/contemporary_leather_sofas_0.htm) is nice and clean but it won't work in my case - the boxes do not have a predictable amount of text (can be one, two or many lines). Patrick's example that basically turns the table on its side (http://www.splintered.co.uk/experiments/details?id=36) is clever, but has the same problem (and will only work for a small portion of visitors). (But thanks for the tip - when viewed this way, it's quite obvious that I am in fact dealing with tabular data) I'll stick with a table but will try to cut out the empty "spacer" cells.
