CSS table replacement

Hello,

Probably this has been asked before but I couldn't find any references
to it.

Can you replace a HTML TABLE with a (DIV/SPAN) CSS solution, that
syncs the row heights and widths automatically?

Thanks,
SebiF

Care to explain a bit more? You can certainly give percentage widths to
elements, if that's what you mean.

If you're moving from table-based layout, try to forget the whole
row/column concept. If you're trying to replace a data table with CSS,
don't.

display: table / table-row / table-cell. Although it requires a modern
webbrowser (which rules IE out).

Remember though: Tables are not for layout, but they SHOULD still be used
when the data is tabular in nature.
