No, we cannot. Only you know what your site contains. Read the css
spec. Read tutorials. Go to your site. If you are using tables for
layout (your example code suggests you are), get rid of them. Don't
get rid of tables that hold real tabular data. Do get rid of tables
(ab)used for layout. Rewrite the document to html 4.01/strict,
ignoring the visuals. Validate the document, correct as necessary.
Now take a look at in a browser or two, and use css to change that
which you do not like.

<table> <!-- snip rest of table --> </table>

you can use the display-property to make a div act like it is a table

div.tabel {
display: table;
}
div.rij {
display: table-row;
}
div.cel {
display: tabel-cell;
}
and in your HTML you can then write

<div class="tabel">
<div class="rij">
<div class="cel">first row, first cell</div>
</div>
</div>

And then you have something that looks like a table.
but Internet Explorer doesn't support this (bummer)

I found this article very useful:

http://alistapart.com/stories/flexiblelayouts/

and the discussion

(http://www.alistapart.com/stories/fl...youts/discuss/)

contained some very interesting exchanges on the table vs. all CSS
layout issue.

Converting to a table-free layout is not a case of taking a table-like
layout and replicating it with CSS. It's a whole different way of doing
things (and a much easier and more sensible one when you get used to it!).
Instead of picturing a big box made up of smaller boxes, you need to imagine
chunks that you can place on the page wherever you want.

There are loads of CSS layout guides out there. Instead of trying to figure
out how you can convert tables to CSS, it would be easier to start from
scratch (it's not that difficult... honest!).

No. It's impossible to tell what you are trying to achieve from that
code snippet. I will hazard a guess that this is a layout table,
probably a columned format. If so, then there are quite a few templates
and tutorials for making them in CSS.

It would take about 5 seconds of searching google groups to find some,
but here is one such list:

If you're trying to achieve something else, then you need to describe
your real objective.
