Can anyone tell us the browsers/versions that exhibit errors
when tables are nested too deeply? And how many levels of
nesting produces errors?

(not a tables vs CSS question)

You are confused, using tables for layout causes problems, not errors.

>(not a tables vs CSS question)

But it is.

So, what you're saying is you don't have an answer to his question. :/

What you are demonstrating is that you've not understood neither the
question, the answer, or usenet. Oh well.

About his question: His question dealt with nesting tables and not
with CSS.

About your answer: Tables can cause problems . . . ok, I'll agree.
However, tables, whether politically correct in today's preferred web
page layout, are still a part of many web pages. Your reply to his
question, although technically correct, was totally useless.

About my knowledge of Usenet: I'm an average PC user who has been
using Usenet since about 1995. Whether I understand ALL there is to
know about Usenet is not the issue; to that, the answer is no.
However, I'm not a total "newbie" to its concept or its use. Oh, by
the way, Usenet should be spelled starting with a capital letter, so I
guess you're not quite the total "know it all" you believe you are. Oh
well.
