And it feels like I've been trying to get IE to render it properly for 10 years too. [:D]

I don't think IE has ever done things "properly". [;)]

CSS really is a great tool once you get your arms around it. I have been doing virtually all my 'original' stuff lately with CSS. It is a great tool but actually still has a lttle way to go in terms of defining the 'standard'. For instance, the ol' 'padding / margin' discrepencies amongst browsers. Regardless of those few flaws, it is a great way to build pages IMO.

There is no better tool IMO to build nice menus. [:D]

I know I am grateful to those folks here who know CSS much better than me; I have learned a lot from your posts.

It would have to be a really unusual page for me to consider going back to tables and the 'old way'. However it does seem somewhat strange to me that a tool like this took so long to reach it's 'maturity and saturation' amongst developers. Maybe 'cause MS didn't push it. [8|]

I tried it a few weeks ago on a quickie joke site I was doing. I couldn't do it!

Every time the layout wouldn't work I ended up sticking some divs in with styles and eventually there was no table left. [:D]

I had that problem with the "wedding" website - it took three attempts to get something, invalid, tacky and totally tasteless - the first version even validated! [:D]

Not entirely true.

They did things very well up until IE6. Most of what they'd done before that time was pretty much ahead of the game (they needed to beat off Netscape).

The problem has been that it has taken so long to fix IE6. The competition has passed them by but as they had such a large market share they didn't care much.

Market share decreasing = sudden increase in caring and you get "revolutionary" elements like tabbed browsing (which Opera has had for about 4 years).
