Re: Using tables for navigation - is this acceptable?

Hi Lois,

HNY to you to - I hope you and the family are all well and survived Christmas.

That is what I have on the sample page I gave, but it doesn't work well 
enough.

The dead space is to the right of the menu - I can reduce this a bit, and even 
hide it by making the background the same colour as the background of the last 
link, but it still makes the menu look a bit uneven.


I basically have the same issue as illustrated on 
http://www.mrclay.org/web_design/tabs/ but it seems that a table is the best 
solution.
