After reading on this web site the importance of CSS layouts versus the age old nested tables, I've decided to grab the bull by the horns and move to what appears to be a better and more efficient method.
I just hope you can all bear with me while I ask what will probably be stupid questions..
If you have any tips to getting started, I'll gladly take them. Up until now, I found the nested tables to be the easiest, but I have been using them for so long, that a different strategy might confuse things..
Either way, I'm ready for a bumpy ride...
-BradMy best general advice would be:
Don't think about how to use CSS to make your page look like a nested-table layout. Instead, look at your content and style requirements anew. Think how you would like the content (structured with semantically meaningful HTML) to appear on the page, then look for CSS solutions to do so. As Morpheus said, "Free your mind," and stop thinking in "table mode".
