it won't let me view that thread for some reason

DaveyBoy, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

   1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
   2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

In case anyone is wondering I just split out all the debate about CSS vs. tables and put it into a new thread. You can find it here:

Try this:

#container {width: 100%;}
#navigation {}
#links {width: 150px;}

That's it (I think - haven't worked with tables in a long time). The links column should stay at 150 pixels and the content area will stretch to fill the space. By using external styles you'll be able to add whatever other CSS you want to each of those areas.

<table id="container"> 
<tr> 
<td id="content">
</td> 
<td id="links">
</td>
</tr>
</table>

While that does work, it is generally not a good idea to use tables unless absolutely necessary.

Or you can add CSS to the table

content
navigation

etc, is valid XHTML 1.0 Strict
