Actually, it looks like you could do the exact same thing with just 1 table,
with about 7 columns and about 12 rows, and using:
<TD HEIGHT=____ WIDTH=_____ COLSPAN=___ ROWSPAN=_____><IMG SRC=_____></TD>
for each TD tag... of course if you're generating the HTML with tcl/tk, your
code needs to be smarter to figure out how exactly to cut the image up nicely
using only one table, but it CAN be done!

Well, as always, one of the best ways to learn something is to jump right in!
:) (but having the O'Reilly book sure does help!)
