Any chance anyone can bring me update with the preferred method of laying out web pages?

Got a small website to make, about 5 pages but just need a bit of direction. Last time I did a website it was all set out with tables but I believe that isn't the done thing anymore. Is it all div tags these days?

Found a guide so ignore my first post.

Not totally got my head round it yet. It's ages since I did HTML and I never used div tags.

whats the best way of doing robust/accessible drop down menus, javascript of CSS only?

I figured CSS only might be the way to go so I've used this:

Not too bothered that it doesn't do an aminated dropdown like javascript would as the site isn't for me and I'm not getting paid.

Harry (owner of that site) is a close friend of mine, and I based my multi-level version on that one you've used. If you feel the need for more levels, just give me a shout.

Cool thanks.
The site I'm doing is very simple so I only need one level but I'll bear it in mind for any furutre projects.

I'm in Sheff too BTW... not that I'm suggesting a date or anything but I just thought I'd say!
