  Re: Cellspacing -- better

  Well, it seems there's no way to specify a pixel-width for cellspacing in CSS that IE 6 and 7 will honor. But you can turn off cellspacing with the attribute:
  
  table [border-collapse: collapse;]
  
  This is helping out a lot. It's cool to colorize table cells, and to border them, but it's not necessary to give specific widths for cellspacing, except to turn it off when there's no room in the layout.

  table-less tables?
  
  Use text boxes to simulate a table with no <table></table>
  
  An example can be found at covert.puregeek.net
  
  Click the Valid CSS link at the bottom to get a look at all the styles.
  
  WARNING: There are links to adult site in one of the "cells". If you click them you will be exposed to porn! </warning>

    1) Tables are the one-and-only semantic markup for tabular data.
    2) what's a text-box? You mean a div? There's a wonderful method of forcing divs to display like tables, but... not supported until IE8.

    not sure what you're looking for
    
    you could use divs of a set width and height that float, or have them absolutely positioned.
    But if you're looking to use a table, just use a table.
    
    "use text boxes to simulate a table with no <table></table> "
    do you mean the <span> tag?
