back when i was coding before we used tables..guess this is old school now lol... We did use css and div's .. Were barely usable back then.. What I remember is being able to place anything in a specific section OVER anything..anywehre on the page..Is this the same idea as what your talking about?
Tables were widely used, and they worked, but the concept of its use was wrong. Tables are supposed to contain data, not layout a page. if you need containers to create the layout, you can use div's. This is called html Tableless.
