I'm still trying to learn CSS and the use of DIV, and a few examples
will get me started.
My challenge at the moment is to place some text to the right of a
header (a sort of footnote) and to have the baselines of the text
aligned. I can do this with a table:
<TABLE><TR VALIGN=BASELINE><TD><H2>Header</H2><TD>Comment</TABLE>
But my feeble attempt with DIVs fails:
<DIV STYLE="float:left;vertical-align:baseline"><H2>Header 2</H2></DIV>
<DIV STYLE="float:left;vertical-align:bottom">text</DIV>
Am I missing something obvious, or is this harder than it looks?

No, and it is harder than it looks :)
Vertical-align only applies to things that are display: inline or
table-cell, and it isn't inherited, so it does nothing on your divs.
Will this do:
h2 { display: inline }
...
<h2>Header 2</h2text

Well, that does not align the baselines.

Is this what you want:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css" media="screen">
h2 {font-size: 200%;}
span {position:relative; font-size: 50%;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h2>Header <span>Comment</span></h2>

I meant to delete position: relative;, it was from an earlier fiddling.

I wouldn't want to change all H2 instances, but I can certainly use this
approach. Thanks for showing me something I hadn't come across before.
One of my colleagues at work suggested this:
<h2>Part 2 <span style="font-size:small;font-weight:normal">(Experts
Only)</span></h2>
Which is perfect for my occasional use.

That's almost exactly what a colleague at work suggested (see my post

I've now splashed out on a book to help me with CSS, so maybe you won't
see me here again in the near future.

Inline styles are a PITA so put the font settings in your CSS, i.e.
h2 small {font-weight:normal}
