You spend two hours customizing a table just to find out that it doesn't validate with the rest of your markup, then you spend 5 minutes banging our a CSS solution that validates XHTML on the first run and actually performs better than your table.

Me hates tables. But I love CSS. :D

Nothing wrong with tables, as long as you don't build a house with them. :wink: Use them for what they're made for: tabular data.

the sad thing is the data I was using was tabular in nature, and the display of that data still worked better with CSS DIVs than with a table.
