replace tables with CSSP

If I have a complex structure with nested tables, with the sole purpose of positioning radio buttons and other form objects, can I instead use CSS positioning to get the positions right?

Any good sources on-line for using CSSP?

I know these ol' tables are not good for people using text-to-speech browsers and they also are really slow for Netscape to parse before display. That's why I want them replaced.

Thanks for your tips. I managed to learn quite a lot. However, it seems like the browsers do not interpret html the same way. Why am I not surprised.

If you've got the time, please have a look at

to understand my described problem:

I now have a "clear:both" box containing two inline boxes, the second relatively positioned 10px left, 0px height. This makes a nice looking table-substitute in IE5. BUT of course not in Netscape.

Can I fix this or is it impossible, just wait for everyone to install IE5+NS5, til then use tables?
