Hi folks,

I'm sort of new to CSS and was wondering if I can render
a "table" like layout without the use of tables. The
following link is an image file of what I would like to
render with CSS.

I'm having trouble alingning things together.
Can anyone provide a sample for me. I would greatly
appreciate it.

Thanks

A quick question: why would you not want to do this with tables, that's what
they are designed to do?

Because I'm designing a WYSIWYG tool to create surveys
and tables are not good for absolute and relative
positioning. Additionally, tables are messy and required
image spacers to align things properly. And so on...

Thanks

Errm, that's what the CSS is for [the positioning and spacing].

Consider using class definitions for the table cells and table rows to get
the positioning, margins, padding, alignment etc.

Post an example of a table layout that doesn't work and I/we should be able
to give you a CSS that will make it work - tables are the definitive method
of giving a structured layout.
