I have been very comfortable with the use of tables but I have been really impressed with the arguments for CSS without tables and have been struggling to understand the howtos.
So I am nearly complete on my site revamp and would welcome any comments.
I have told myself that if all the extra css effort does not work very well I will fall back to a table and css site.

Hi Paul,
Looks fine in IE but needs work in other browsers such as firefox.
Have a look into changing the doctype to put the page in standards mode.
You may also need to look at clearing floats http://www.csscreator.com/attributes/containedfloat.php
Hope that helps

Thanks Tony - very helpful indeed - excellent tutorials.
I have now fixed for Firebox (although the list boxes don't centre - but who cares!) - Galeon is fine but Konquerer is not. (again who cares;))
I've had a look around at standards DOCTYPEs and presume my best choice would be loose (however I don't really understand DOCTYPE very well). Why would I ever want strict?

Hi Paul,
In strict or Standards mode most browsers display the box model correctly so you have less problems positioning elements on the page etc.
There are some good articles in http://www.csscreator.com/links/linkspage.php about doctypes and rendering modes.
Hope that helps
