By asking the participants of this newsgroup to put some effort in your
problem, or rather in solving your problem, you could save some time. But:

(1) You chose a group on Hyper Text Markup Language. Therefore the
responses so far are focused on (proper use of) HTML. If this is not the
input you're looking for, you might be better off trying to get some
feedback in alt.www.webmaster. There is a more pragmatic attitude towards
publishing on the web over there.
(2) If your code has errors, it is unlikely that you're going to get very
direct help. How are the participants in this or, or how are you to know
that it is not the errors that are the cause of any unwanted effect.
(3) Usenet newsgroups are not helpdesks. If you ask a question,
participants in this group are going to discuss it. It might be you aks
the wrong question (yes, there is something like asking the wrong
question), because you create a problem rather than have one. Much like
using inproper markup because the way it looks in some graphical browsers.
In that case, people will point to you that there shouldn't be any
problem, had you not created it yourself in the first place.

Fixing true problems with help (and efford and time) of others is fine.
Just don't present problems that shouldn't occur. And don't present code
with errors in a group that is all about markup.

Now, as to what you want to achieve: I have a page up that could be a bit
like what you want. The content is in Dutch, but the markup and styles are
not of course :-) See if you can find something of your interest in that
page:
<URL:http://www.pretletters.net/voorbeelden/voorbeeld_menu-met-hovereffect.html>

It is an example and it's not whithout some presentational problems (like
the fact that the lower box in the left side slides underneath the upper
box with the menu if the viewport is resized to a certain height). It's
just to show that you don't always need tables to create certain looks.
Another example is
<URL:http://www.pretletters.net/_test/simulating_tables.html> which works
well in Op8.5 and FF1.5. Haven't seen it recently in IE, but I think I
remember that it even performs well in that browser.
