hi! don't you think tables are neccessary to provid structure in datasets? you should indeed read: http://www.usability.com.au/resources/tables.cfm seems offtopic, but this is too important for me. tables are not useless. henry. 2006/1/6, Maziak, Peter (Tek Systems) [EMAIL-REMOVED]>: > > http://www.msu.edu/~maziak/umg/dra/quadrantlayout.html > > I am using four divs (plus others) to build "frameless frames."
