archaic spacer gifs?

I thought I make a new design, based upon a complex table construction. I
gave all the cells the correct width and height properties but still it
was
not correct. Until I put in spacer gifs. From that moment the layout was
OK.
If they are archaic (could well be, in that case I may be archaic as well
:-), how else should I have achieved a correct layout?


Things are not as simple as they might seem. Here is your page on my
screen when I am a bit tired and have to enlarge the text:

Thanks. That looks horrible indeed.

The fact is that if you are going to use tables for layout and want
something reasonably precise that does not break on other people's
computers and platforms and browsers, you need to be very careful about
dimensioning your boxes. You use pixels. Text grows to a different drum
beat.

OK. So?

I suggest you read that tute url I gave you to get a bit of a feeling
for a different way to design.

I'll read it through, definitely.
You are right. Creating a web site is more complex that it looks on first
sight.


You might be amused by:

Not amused, really. But I realized I am way behind with using tables for
layouts.
I might need some classes again ...
