From what I see, you are trying to display data that is
ideally suited to a table.

Using tables to control page layout, is a bad habit formed before the dawn
of CSS. I used it myself for page layout, once upon a time. Now I use
CSS for the page layout and styling. I use tables when I have data that
fits a table.

You can use CSS to style and position your table on the page, but for that
data, use a table.

DUH, it says that on the page.

That is a menu, it is not data for a table. It is to have a rollover
effect whereby the division name, Austin, Cpatiol, etc turns blue and
the age 28+, 38+ turns red. See the real thing in action here:

I'm TRYING to use CSS to do this, hence the purpose of the original
post.

You are using divs inappropriately . divs are block level elements; to
get a linear layout you need inline elements, like a list.
<http://css.maxdesign.c om.au/listamatic/> has a lot of interesting menu
layouts. One may work for you.

Lists are also block level elements.

Yes, you are correct. I didn't think of that.

Thanks.
