Hi Juha,
the regulars of the group told me a couple of months ago, after a
similar question about tables:
*You are abusing tables.*

Means tables are for data sheets but not to display anything in a fixed
form.

I took me a little time ( and some help form the group) to change from
*abusing tables* ( I was a little bit angry bout this statement) to css
positioning.
But the regulars of the group are right - its much better and you can
change the layout very quickly.

Have a look to http://www.csszengarden.com/ they show you the power of
CSS without tables
