What do you mean? Do you mean about using div's for layout instead of tables?

DIV is just an html tag - think of it as a box. You can put stuff into the box, take stuff out of the box, you can paint the box red, whatever. Just make sure you don't break up the box - then it wouldn't be a box anymore Wink

http://www.alistapart.com is a good place to start for stuff on CSS layouts. Look for an article about using float: to create a flexible layout - I found that one particularly helpful.
