personally, i love tables.  absolutely love them.  i just wish that all
the broswers would have more of a standard when it came to viewing them.
often times, i build tables fairly complex, and opera will show them one
way .. communicator 4.77 another .. netscape 6/6.01 yet another way (all
in linux).  then you get to see other ways the code can be interpretted in
the windows versions of opera, netscape 6/6.01, and of course internet
explorer 5.5.  oh well hehe
