I have a basic start of a new page, and struggle with the mix of tables and css.

the page code:

BODY {
color : #666666;
font-style : normal;
font-weight : normal;
font-size : 11px;
font-family : Geneva, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;
}
TD {
color : #666666;
font-style : normal;
font-weight : normal;
font-size : 11px;
font-family : Geneva, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;
}

The questions:

1. To use css I can devide the page into:
#outer, #head, #maincontent, #footer
With the width of the page (see table width) of 760 what width for the #outer to use? So that page is centered.

2. How to change the tables into css (or is that more complex and better to keep the tables so all is viewed well in different browsers)?

Thanks for helping me with this.
