nice. I'll check that out. But why lists? why not like < p> or some other tags?

Thank you for your answers, made things a little clearer. But if you could look at the following example with me, it will be more helpful.I tried to make a menubar of one row and some columns:______ ______ ______ ______|______|______|_____|______|with tables containing links (text, not images). This was very simple coding. I then used CSS to edit the some borders and put a fixed width size to the columns and a fixed height to the table. Even though it was easy, tables have a mind of their own. I wished to add an onmouseover effect with the text inside the columns getting bold. But then the colums autmatically got a little resized, even though i had a fixed size for everything. But that's another problem...If i wish to make something similar with divs, the only way i see to make a similar menubar, is to make divs for every box and then use styles to give each box a width and height. I also need to give each div an absolute position to make them come next to each other. This seems like alot of more work, since i have to calculate the position for each box. I guess i am making things more difficult than they really are, but i can't find another way.I have also seen code from other sites that use these kind of menus. They tend to use lists (ul and il tags) and then use styles to adjust them, but i don't quite understand how it works. Maybe my CSS knowlegde is still too weak... Also it would be helpful if you know of some sites which offers some good techiques/tutorials for using styles for similar effects

After learning some CSS and HTML and seeing sourcecodes of some excellent designed webpages, i notice that everyone is using div's to make something that you could've made with tables. I can see that there are some advantages with div's but if someone could point out the main differences and when one should use tables instead of div and visa versa, that'll be very helpful. I thought that this topic may me very common but couldn't find anything. Thanks for your help
