Hi All. I'm running Dreamweaver MX and I'm trying to do a webpage layout with just using tables to space everything out. Is this possible? I'm looking for easiest layout method without getting into PS. So far it looks like its working but I want to have staggered tables and that's the problem I'm running into. Is there a tutorial related to layout staggered tables across a webpage such as....

------------------------------
| Banner |
------------------------------
Navbar here

------------ ---------------
| table1 | | |
| | | |
------------ | table 2 |
------------ | |
| table3 | | |
------------ | |
text ---------------
text

I've only been at it one day so far and I've just used left/right align to kinda get temporary position but of courwse when a browser window is not full screen, the tables end up layering over each other until it's full screen again and then they go back to where they should be.

Thanks for any help.

Ok my little diagram didn't turn out right after I hit submit but you get the idea, staggered tables of various sizes.

the only way i can think of to do what you want to do is make a table within a table
i.e.
<table width="100%" height="100%"><tr><td>
<table width="100" height="200"><tr><td></td></tr></table>
</tr></td></table>

only change a little bit around to match what you need

if you do that, then you can force a scroll bar at the bottom, that way they don't overlap, the page just stretches
