with tables there is a clean and algorithmic way to organize things, but with
css which is, once you get it working, much cleaner, I have to tweak and patch
and hope and pray and curse before things are positioned the way I want them.
It *should* be easy to say: this goes on the left, this goes on the right,
this goes in the center, all on the same line, with a background image...but
I'm missing something.
I would very much like a clean algorithmic way to partition things off, and so
arrange my website, as I would have done when using tables to arrange things
was in style.
Thank you

what the **** is going on with ******* css where the **** did who come up
with the whole ****** web standard anyway. oh wait, there ISN'T a standard
because every single friggen browser out there decides to render everything
just slightly different, even if you have the latest browser and conform
strictly to the friggen standards. margin-right oh, if you say put the
right margin on the right hand side of the screen i'll just place it on the
next ******* line, that's what you want right? come ON people!! gtk figured
this out long ago, gtk_expand, gtk_fill, and gtk_shrink: expand to take as
much space as possible, fill all the space you have with content vs padding,
shrink to take up only the space required. why the **** can't you do that
in html which is supposed to be so much more advanced? why the **** are we
using html for all this anyway? it's such a bass-ackwards, broken system.
what's wrong with the y-protocol or a derivative thereof in which programs
do not even know that they're operating over a network connection as far as
the gui is concerned? why do we keep trying to build hack upon hack upon
hack. i ******* hate the ****** web, it's a total software vietnam! hey,
let's take a bad idea, depend upon it, make it worse, depend on it more,
repeat, repeat, repeat, until every ****** coder out there is forced to deal
with this **** instead of doing worth-while things like building better
compilers, better languages, better filesystems, or anything else non-lame
