</table>
I forgot to mention it closer to the time, but it’s heartening to see that some websites can take pride in writing proper html markup, and agree with me that just because insanely nested tables may work, it doesn’t mean that it’s a good idea.
Everything on my own site I do with appropriate stylesheet margins, padding and positioning, instead of the old table crutch. You need to be careful when doing this though, since Internet Explorer’s positioning support is, well, slightly fucked. If you aren’t careful, you’ll end up with something that looks like this. It might well work fine in IE, but if you’re writing the page "for the express purpose of showing me how good i am at building stuff like this," you want to at least make the menus work!
