Hi strings,

You could use 3 floats divs to achieve this. I would say using a table is not semantically correct as it's not strictly tabular data.

If he can't build it in html tables I don't think he's going to have an easier time with divs. Crawl before you run.

Crawl before you run.

I wouldn't see it that way. Better to learn good habits from the get go. There are loads of tutorials out there for 3 column layout that would help people to learn these techniques.

Is this the desired output?

I recomend tables using colspan and rowspan, you can looks these up on sites like w3schools.com. Im not completley sure of your layout but to get irregular tables like that i would try rowspan and colspan.

Edit:

alternitvly use &nbsp; to create the blank cell in the middle at the first row of the table so it would be like this...

<table cellpadding="4">
<tr>
<td valign="top">
Sent To: [e-mail]
</td>
<td>
&nbsp;
</td>
<td valign="top">
Sent By,
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top">
If you prefer...
</td>
<td valign="top">
Advertise ¦ Contact
</td>
<td valign="top">
Address 123..
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Hope One Of These Solutions Helps :)
