Just out of curiosity, what is wrong with tables??

When laying out tabular data(spreadsheet-like), nothing at all. Even when using forms it's acceptable in some situations.

However, a little CSS and semantic HTML and you can give much better results and allow for much greater control over the elements in the long run.

If you want to find out more about tables vs css just Google: tables vs css layout

The debate can get hot and heated and in some cases offensive. Don't say I didn't warn you. :)

This is the best money I have ever spent. I cannot not tell you how many times these folks have saved my bacon. I learn so much from the contributors.
