[WEB4LIB] Question 2

[Kevin W. Bishop]

Think of using CSS for layout (or positioning) as less a "work around" for 
tables and rather a vast improvement that replaces the klunky, messy markup 
that pixel-perfect table layouts require.

A tutorial that may be useful for you:

Also, I believe you spoke earlier of creating web pages with content 
accessibility in mind?  Most designers consider fluid layouts to be more 
"accessible" than those that employ fixed sizes for fonts, tables, 
etc.  Search the Web4Lib archives and you'll find we've had many great 
discussions on this issue:  http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/Web4Lib/archive.html

Good luck!
