In Chapter 6, "Web Page Structuring Using Tables," you learned that usin217 tables to structure the content of elements on the page is not only easy but, when used correctly, extremely flexible. Unfortunately, you probably also noticed that the more complex the site became, the process of getting the tables perfectly adjusted and getting the content exactly where you want it to be was hit or miss at best. After working with merging and splitting cells, adding transparent GIF spacers, and experimenting with the horizontal and vertical spacing, you might be thinking there's got to be a better way to structure your site. This is where layers come in.
