Its always the simple things that take *ages* to spot and seconds to
fix.

Well it was an idea.....

I'm right out of ideas now :-(

I think that is the nature of tables in HTML. After all their sole real
purpose is just to display tabulated data. They were not originally
conceived (sp?) to provide a page layout tool. Just a shame that that's
what most people use them for :-)

In the end if you find solution that works then go for it - just try it
in as many browsers as you can first.
