>> why not use tables and set the width as %s?

A few years ago I worked in a web-design "sweatshop" a for a couple weeks. One of those companies that has 30+ webmasters cranking out 300 6-page sites per week. They had it standarized where all sites had to have a tables set to 80%. They figured to go with this number since many of their sites had frames/no frames with nav bars on the left. I found it to be a good % too, it leaves you with a little room to spare for other things you might have to add later.
