Rob, to be honest, that is the solution I have gone for after much messing
about trying various suggested solutions. Trying to do simple columns in css
is just too complicated (perhaps why there are oodles of pages on the net
about finding perfect column solutions).
The table solution is so much more reliable, robust, doesn't break, and does
what it says on the tin. You don't have to worry about clearing problems
either (which I was having because I had floated both columns but I also had
a left floated navigation div to the left of that) or wrapping problems.
Someone remind me what is wrong with doing this? I mean, floating divs to
make columns is not actually what they are meant for anyway is it? In which
case we are using them for the wrong purpose, which is exactly what the
criticism of tables is.
Apologies if this comes over as a rant or upsets anyone. I am still using
floated divs for design don't worry, but I think that there are times when
tables for layout is still the best way to go.

Subject: RE: [css-d] Simple two columns
How do I stop col2 wrapping below col1 however when the
browser window is
shrunk down in size? (Has to work in IE).
<table cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td class="col1">...</td>
<td class="col2">...</td>
</tr>
</table>
OK, I'm a green + knobbly troll. But it would work, and it's simple...
