As mentioned else-thread, using css instead of tables is the way to go.
Tables certainly have their uses, but they should be restricted to
table data, not used for general page layout.
for some reason, "tables" have become to HTML what "goto" has become to
programming languages. Frankly, there are situations where a table is
far easier and simpler to use than some style sheets that require an
inordinate amount of coding.
In the case of his example with submit buttons on the left and content
on the right, it would appear to me that a table is well suited. It
isn't abusing the tables with multiply nested tables etc.
Whatever you do, you should ensure that your (x)html and css is valid.
