OK, so let's say I'm trying to make an honest go of it and resist the 
urge to use TABLEs for non-tabular data.

So how do I handle this one?

I'd like to have two links on a page.   They should be on the same line 
together, one flush left, the other flush right.  The TABLE method is 
just to have two cells, but of course we don't want to do that.

What I tried was putting two divs, one after the other.  The 2nd one was 
relative positioned with its height at -1em.  This did not work on IE 6, 
and as I am using a downloaded template, as I twiddled I quickly 
realized I was going to make it a lot worse before it ever got better.

So right now I am using a TABLE  and wondering if anybody can teach a 
database guy yet another CSS trick.


P.S., you know I wonder if there is something about programmers, 
especially db guys, preferring that TABLE element, some kind of 
subconscious thing...
