Not so much columns - as columnar lines

OK. I'm trying to be REALLY good and css-ey.
My page has a table at the bottom which I'm trying to emulate in CSS

In the same folder is therapist.htm and the css is in stsc.css

I can do a three column layout within the areasbox div at the bottom of therapist.htm, but what I'm looking to emulate is the table at the bottom, preferably with alternating light and dark backgrounds on alternate lines to make it easier to read.

My problem, if it were only columns, would be lining up the different height data, the Scotland bit being bigger that the others, and so on.

So.

Help?

Hi

That looks like tabular data. So why not use a [tt]table[/tt] to display it ?

( thread215-1562376 contains a discussion about using or not using [tt]table[/tt]s. )

Feherke.
 
Yup. FF shows nothing at all, and the page looks a bit garbled up.

Looking at it in IE is the onyl way to see it.

Additionally I agree with feherke, in that it looks like you are displaying tabular data, the best option and the semantically correct option is to use a table.
