If you want to make a multi-column layout, please do it with
CSS.

Isn't the problem with the tables not that they exist, but that they're
hard-coded to be 700 pixels wide?  I would think that simply using
percentages or proportions instead of fixed widths and heights should make
the tables work for everyone.

(...) In most cases it helps a lot to set a relative table width, but even then you will sometimes run into problems it parts of the content _is_ wider that the specified table. Jacob (23 years ago, 23-Jan-02, to lugnet.publish)
