Argh... NO! That is not the *best* way - it's an extremely ugly hack that is only necessary to support the layout in browsers that don't support standards (standards that are fairly old now).

Please, if you add the capability to lay out pages with tables, don't make it the default, whatever you do. It's about time people just bit the bullet and accepted the fact that it is OK to have old-fashioned layout for text browsers and five year old browsers.

That was many years ago... I've since moved on from using tables for laying out all of my sites. With advances like CSS/XHTML/JS/Ajax and what have you, you can really ditch the WYSIWYG world completely! Just mod your code and hit a refresh on your browser to see your results...
