    Default Styling an HTML form without a table

    I'm reading "Eric Meyer On CSS" and project 7 "Making an Input Form Look
    Good" uses a table to lay out the html form. I've looked around the web for
    other examples, but can't seem to find a good way to this without a table.

    The situation I'm in is that I work as a user interface designer for a
    company that builds very large webapplications for e-governement (hundreds
    of screens). The entire application runs in a webbrowser. I've opted for the
    familiar look&feel of a desktop application. Everything is styled using CSS
    and the page lay out doesn't use any tables whatsoever, except for the html
    form.

    One of the reasons I would like to use CSS for the html form is that de
    webdevelopers loose too much time scrolling through huge table constructions
    trying to find mistakes. I was hoping to improve their productivity by
    making that simpler by using CSS which they can simply ignore when
    developing their jsp pages.

    Anybody know of a resource or an example of a form being completely styled
    with CSS and without a table?

    thnx,
