I tend to stick to percentage widths, fixed width layouts are generally a bad idea anyways ;)
Ideally I want a way to say "make this bit as narrow as possible without wrapping" and "give this bit all the remaining space". Tables made this quite easy, I'm not quite sure how to do this in CSS.
Half the problems I have to solve are when someone has "fixed" problems by using absolute or relative position and suddenly the whole layout stops responding to sensible changes!
Yup, been there, got that t-shirt :
It's funny that as soon as MS give users choice, they start to understand that there are more choices than MS. Same seems to be true of Office 2003 vs Office 2007 (giving OOo a way in), and XP/Vista/Win7. It's no longer a simple decision to use Windows, Internet Explorer and Office, just because everyone else does. All of those now prompt the "yes, but which one?" reply.
