The popularity of the style of my design or it's "beauty" was not my
question. I understand that many feel the css is the only way to go
but the fact remains that, and I know that this is hard to swallow,
table designs do work and the only browser that seems to choke on them
is FireFox. IE, Opera and Safari seem to handle it fine.

I should be abble to have fixed height and dynamic cells in FireFox
but that doesn't seem to work either.
