CSS Styled DIVs that look like tables?

Question

I've just redesigned my entire home web site using CSS div
positioning and I am now about 80% table free. However I have
several pages that I like lined up the way they are in multi
column, multi row tables like this:

Anyone have some good tutorials on how to accomplish this?
Thanks...

Do you think because I'm French I care? LOL
I thought after all these years you'd know be better... FYI,
I didn't watch
yesterday and I was not watching 8 years ago.

I'm sorry but nobody suggested the OP should "do away with
the images or the
matrix and use a UL to display a single column". The one
"column" display
was suggested as an advantage of the UL over the table in a
small viewport.

You can insult people without calling them names and I'm sure
you know that
1. The OP asks a question
2. I answer his question.
3. You say that it would be not logical.
4. I list my arguments for using an UL rather than a table
and politely ask
why it would not be logical to use CSS for layout.
5. Rather than answering my questions (or simply chose to not
reply at all)
you decide to come up with:
"Mr. Semantics, I beg your forgiveness. Now I must go make up
my laundry
list. I'm sure the original poster will have a grand old time
making a list
just for you."
I'm sorry but in my book I find this reply insulting. It's
like when you're
talking to someone and he turns your back on you before
you're finished
answering his question. That's the kind of behavior that
makes me call
people smart *ss. I could have used "Mr" though... ;)
