Tables are not "bad" - they are good for presenting tabular data. OK, so they shouldn't be used for layout, which is what you are trying to avoid.
Indeed, correction accepted!
There's an example (with a better explanation than I could give) at http://css.maxdesign.com.au/floatutorial/tutorial0816.htm
This doesn't actually work as expected if the content is shorter than the menu, see example here: http://www.more-solutions.co.uk/test.html
But original website's text says
"We will also apply a border to the left of the "content" div. This could be a problem if the "leftnav" div is longer than the main content. If this is the case, the border can be applied to the right side of the "leftnav" div instead of the "content" div."
