I use tables.

Heheheheh.  Well?  Someone had to say it.

The tables method is forbidden by CSS purists.  I read everything I can find
about how to do this without tables, but every "solution" I've ever seen
required so many hacks and work-arounds for the different ways that
different browsers handle stuff that none of them ever seemed do-able to
me.  So I use tables.  If you find a non-table solution that does *not*
require a whole slew of hacks and work-arounds, just be sure to check it in
all the major browsers.
