Best comment in this thread IMO. Thanks! Some key parts from John Nagle's comments: It’s not that CSS is hard; it’s that CSS is bad. (...) The worst problem with DIV-based layout is that the layout system is too weak. (...) There’s no way to relate a DIV to anything but its predecessor, its parent, or an absolute position. (...) Table layouts allow table cells which span multiple rows and columns. If all tables could do were simple grids of cells, the CSS approach might make sense, but tables are more general than that.
