Yeah, I've had similar experiences when trying to avoid tables.

This forum, unlike -dt- suggested, is a nice example of how to use tables in a good way.
Thank you, Cookie. :lol: :)

But what if I want one button on the far left of the page and one button on the far right, both right across from each other? With the table, you just add another <td> but with the <div> WTF do you do? :s

Tables are supported in all browsers (just like DIV), but they don't require any advanced CSS for positioning. It makes it easy to sort out the content in it.
I agree! (y)
