Thanks @Dennis, I had a look at that and other links too, somehow Í'm still come away with the understanding that CSS is not worth the efforts. Its a " bloody waste " of precious development time and just for the sake of cosmetics in my understanding so far. However, am keeping my options open and will continue to research more. Me amatuer thots, on the side of html. :-)
I think using too many breaks with IE ignoring most of them.We create HTML tables, but modify the way they look using CSS, ie the colour of the tables, the borders and the spacingAKi, this may be a bit useful as a well organised reference for what you are doing http://www.w3schools.com/css/
