Quality Table Examples?? - Looking for sites that show innovative use of Tables
Hi there. I'm looking for some examples of sites that show a creative an impressive use of tables. Most tutorial sites simply explain the commands, which are pretty easy to master, but fail to offer examples of how professional designers can created impressive displays with them.
If you could suggest some sites (maybe your own) that show what really is possible with this popular formatting tool I'd be very grateful.

Andy,
I am not sure if my site would be considered impressive by any means but it uses quite a number of tables and nested tables so it should give you an idea of some of the possibilities. Take a look at the source code and feel free to use any of it that you would like.

I apologize if most of the pages turn up errors now but I am doing a little backend work that didn't go over well with the entire site. The site isn't live yet though. Let me know if that was of any help

Well, alot of developer sites actually use some complex tables for the layout of the main pages. Perhaps not always pretty, but the design allows for adjustments in different moniter resolutions. Here are some places:

The last one has a neat effect in IE 5 (maybe others). If you have 800x600, you can see the right side bar. If you have 640x480, there is a tab that will allow you to view the sidebar and then send it back when you are done.
You can also look at my sites through my signature if you want to, but the layout is a little simpler.
