Paul, you can use features of DHTML and/or cascading
style sheets to do
what you want.  Both provide features for absolute and
relative
positioning that may let you get the result you want
with your tables.

However use of those features may limit who can see
your site the way
you want them to see it.  Roughly 1/4 of the traffic
on popular sites 
we
manage is still from browsers that can't handle some
or most features 
of
DHTML/CSS.  Also, managing positioning across various
platforms and
display resolutions with these coding features
requires careful
planning.

Nesting tables - as you have described - seems
cumbersome but it works
well as long as you don't nest too deeply.  We've
often seen Netscape
browsers get fuddled and display improperly after
three levels of
nesting, for example.  But nesting two or three
levels?  Everyone does
it!
