No, it's old school, the only way to do complex layout in the past. At least tables are backward and forward compatible. CSS is only semi-forward compatible. Cheers, Rob. I've never never had used tables for layouts (I worked on pretty complicated projects)... Heck, http://espn.com is CSS based, and it looks pretty darn amazing.

Thank you, thank you very much. Cheers, Rob. -- Looks like, the only table they use is for the ad_container. -- Anna Vester Web Designer http://www.veanndesign.com

Just to be accurate: if you look at the espn.com source you'll see that the only table on the page contains an advertisement in the masthead and doesn't contain the main layout. Because it's the exception and because it's an ad, my guess is that it's markup imposed on the designers from the outside. I didn't see a similar structure on the few sub-pages I glanced at, so it doesn't appear to be part of the overall layout strategy. Regards, Paul Exactly, that's what I was trying to express... sometimes you can not control what is coming to your website through advertisements' content. -- Anna
