This is true
and an important consideration if you're taking money off someone to design a site.

that really only applies
if you have shitloads of tables.

there's really no need to have any more than 4-5 tables on a page anyway.

/learnt that at college.

what would you suggest as an alternative
for laying out your page?

CSS

ok, good dicussion
but strictly, do you mean that each part of the webpage would be enclosed in a DIV, and that each DIV part is assigned a class, then you use the CSS to specify the layout and properties of each class of DIV's ?

edit: how else would you split up the sections ?

For an example
look here: www.44media.com/whatwedo.html

which is controlled by this: www.44media.com/style.css

Not a table in sight. The source code is tiny.
