I don't think there is anything wrong with it at all. For example, some people have not fully adopted CSS-only layout and will use a basic table-based layout for starters. For example, 2x2 table where the top row contains single spanned cell as a masthead, on the second row, the left cell containing the navbar and the right cell containing the content - pretty standard format all along. Within any or all of the three cells, one can put <div>s to divide up the various sections. I have done that in the past when there was poor support for positional CSS and encountered no problems. HTH, Jules Original Message ----------------------- I have read in several places that it is ok to put tables within layers but that it is NOT a good idea to put layers inside of tables. I would dearly love to know why this is. Can anybody explain to me why layers within tables is not a good idea? ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL-REMOVED]] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
