Message: [QUOTE="Andy Dingley, post: 3848320"] <form> or display-only data doesn't make much difference. It's much more about the layout you're after. If you want "grid" (i.e. 2-dimensions that maintain a robust 2-d layout regardless of window size or scrolling), then <table>s are the way to go. What's often better though is to bundle up small units of the form into "boxes", layout the content within the boxes by some fairly rigid means (maybe <table>), but then fluidly flow the boxes into some broader container. You might also have three (or more or less) of these "containers" and set those up quite rigidly as left or right sub-columns. This can work well, especially when you're switching your "boxes" in dynamically through some sort of user-selectable toolbars mechanism. Overall though, you probably want to be looking at an application framework like JSF / RichFaces if things have got to this level of complexity. [/QUOTE]
