Absolute positioning in CSS with borders will effectively simulate a
table. For example:
div.tableCell1 {
position: absolute;
left: 1px;
top: 20px;
border: 1px solid black;
}
....
<div class = "tableCell1">Cell 1</div>
This would make 1 simulated table cell. You'd have a lot more freedom
than coding it with a table.
