Rant and rage

I hate floats. I spend hours each day debugging display errors on different browsers, and 99% of the case it's about an uncontrollable floating object in my page.

Can anyone show me a good tutorial on how to handle them? and I do not mean basic stuff, but advanced techniques on how to manipulate floats. I'm sure we can find a way to get along (floats and me).

Keep their use to minimum (use tables instead when possible).
Remember style="clear:both;"

(just my 2 cents :) )

I'm no HTML/CSS pro but I do not think that using tables is better than using div tags. I used to hate HTML because of tables. Now I'm starting to feel comfortable with HTML because I learned to use div tags and they're much easier than tables (at least to me).

And rahmu, consider learning Flash, trust me it's worth it ;)

The horror!
Only use tables for tabular data.
Not only do tables take way more time to render, they also clutter your markup and make the loading sequential rather than having the whole layout appear at once.
