On your question about centering content, you could also try applying css padding. About CSS being a "bloody waste of development time", well .. thats like saying writing code is a bloody waste of development time :-). You will discover it yourself in due time; write your current app with tables, nested tables, 's, spacer gif's and the works. Naturally, you will want to sort out a few bugs, make a few modifications add a few enhancements na kadhalika, it is then that you will begin to realise that what little convenience tables gave with the right hand they quickly took away with the left. The decision to never (note: not "not") use tables is mostly arrived at by the programmer himself/herself after having been through a maintenance hell - mostly of his very own code!

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 spacing
AKi, this may be a bit useful as a well organised reference for what you are doing http://www.w3schools.com/css/
