Any time I hear someone talk about CSS, I can only sigh.  If you're 
going to do any amount of CSS, you'll end up with at least two different 
sets, one for IE and one for everyone else.  CSS is hardly the perfect 
solution.  I can throw a table together with my eyes shut, and in most 
cases, it works with all browsers.  CSS on the other hand, as I've noted 
is going to have you coding to sets of CSS for the browsers.

I'm not saying tables is a better solution, I'm just saying be prepared 
for double work with CSS.
