Is there a way to create a “table-like” page layout with CSS?
Yes; if you'd like to explore using CSS to style table-like layouts on Web pages, check out
the CSS
display
property. As you may recall from Chapter 6, the CSS
display
property config-
ures if and how an element is displayed. You've already worked with
display:none
,
display:block
, and
display:inline
. Internet Explorer 8 was the last major browser to
add support for the
display:table
property values. Rachel Andrew's article,

You Know About CSS Is Wrong
, at

methods. Be aware that this technique is still quite limited. For example, there is no built-in
mechanism to emulate the
rowspan
or
colspan
attribute in XHTML tables. However, this is
in the works with the CSS3 draft recommendation at
http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/
current-work,
which includes new CSS specifications for working with multicolumn layouts
and grid positioning.
