Tableless layout problem - please help!

Hi,

I'm a newbie, and I'm trying to recreate the table below in CSS:

<table border="1" width="100%" id="table1">
<tr>
<td width="145">Player Name::</td>
<td>Pele</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="145">Nationality::</td>
<td>Brazil</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="145">World Cup Debut:</td>
<td>1956</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="145" valign="top">Highlight:</td>
<td>For many, Pele is the greatest player ever to have
kicked a
football. Winning his first World Cup winner's medal
aged 16 in 1956, he
later went on to be a member of the Brazil 1970 team,
the greatest world
cup team ever, and the most recognisable ambassador
for Football in the
world.</td>
</tr>
</table>


I need it so that it resizes then wraps the second column, whilst the
first column stays fixed, like in the table, and the text from the
second column doesn't appear beneath the first column text.

The information really isn't suited to go in a table, as IMHO its not
tabular data, just headings and related text.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Richard Lissimore.

*TABLE* of information, fer chrissake!

Do not use tables for *presentation*.

*Use* tables for columns and rows of
data, ..*exactly* like you have.
