I find that the logic behind html tables is fairly transparent. Sometimes I
have to create dummy cells with spacer gifs to get the intended effect on the
latest version of *%#$@ MSIE, otherwise no problem.
I have tried hard to get CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) to work, and I know
that many pages use them, but so far I have never been able to get reliable
results.
I bought the book ( easily available through http://www.bookfinder.com/ )
Hakon Wium Lie, Bert Bos
Cascading Style Sheets: Designing for the Web
But, as I said, no predictably reliable results for the things I mostly want
which are fine control over font character size. So mostly I stick with tables.
