My use of tables on an otherwise primarily CSS site
I was working on a site I designed that's pretty much 100% CSS, havencomic.com. This is one of my favorite CSS sites I've designed.
However, this time I was updating the look of the Characters section, and I ended up having to use tables to achieve the look I was wanting.
Is there any way to accomplish the look I got with CSS?

It scales really nicely too.
This is the CSS they're using:
.imageDiv{display: inline;
width: 140px;
height: 155px;
text-align: center;
border: 1px solid silver;
margin: 0 2 2 0;
padding: 10 10 1 10;
float: left;
overflow: hidden;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
font-size : .7em;
clear: none;
}
That site is kind of funny because it's all CSS but the doctype is HTML 4.01 trans. Of course, imageDiv isn't exactly semantic

i don't think you have any problem using tables... nice design by the way...
but i understand that you would like it to be a TOTAL css site... i would probably use absolute positioning for each image... that would be the most reliable way of doing it....

Another example that could be adapted to your site:
