Re: how to have page layouts without table?

Gazing into my crystal ball I observed S N writing in
<eznnnoS7JHA.1568 (AT) TK2MSFTNGP06 (DOT) phx.gbl>:

i want to divide my page into three vertical sections. Each vertical section
to have multiple horizontal sections.
How to divide the page in this way without using tables.

This is not an ASP topic, this should be in
comp.infosystems.www.authoring.stylesheets. Follow-ups set.

Maybe not quite as many ways as things one can point a stick at, but
still, a fair few ways. A fairly sophisticated one for all seasons is:

You might like to peruse this to see what parameters and problems there
are:

Do you want a 3xn grid? Theoretically you could use the table-row and
table-cell values for the display property. But the don't work in many
IE versions (don't know about IE8). The traditional (and working) way to
create grids is to use HTML tables.
