Dave, not all layout demos are that hard to grasp,
or that needlessly complicated either. Try this:
http://www.positioniseverything.net/thr.col.stretch.html
And Holly and I tried hard to explain floats the way you asked for:
http://www.positioniseverything.net/articles/float-theory.html
Simon has it right, positioning requires a different mindset than
tables do. I started with CSS positioning and am only now discovering
how useful tables can be in certain situations. I don't see them as
evil, but just another design tool.
Okay, footers are a pain, but If M$ would only get off their
rear ends and support "fixed" positioning, CSS would suddenly
get a whole lot more attractive. As it is we are forced to use
a crippled subset of CSS. Also, 95% of the bugs and non-text
variations are in IE as well. Don't blame CSS, blame the real
culprits.
