Yep, nothing wrong with using tables to show column data -- that's what tables are for.

that's my point - columns have nothing to do with the data structure, it's a presentation issue - technically it's a list of products. ergo: UL iso TABLE. personally I think the only 2 really strong reason for using a table to display stuff are: 1. a datagrid type of control for doing CRUD stuff. 2. HTML email newsletter (evil in their own right :-), but if a client demands it TABLEs are often the only way to reliably control layout :-( ). but tedd there is no need to go defending Jay. I was merely chatting with him on a theoretical level, not telling nwhat he should/must be doing (because a, he's been doing this stuff longer than I have been alive ;-) and b, I know that he knows the difference between doing it 'right' and doing it on time and within budget :-) 'right' being in quotes because that's more often than not just another form of opinion. :-)
