    Ok this question will probably sound stupid, but is there a way to draw your layout in Dreamweaver (using the table tool) and then convert that layout to CSS?? What would be the easiest way to do something like that?
    Cheers

    There is no way to convert tables to CSS properly.

    Have a look on the web. Most stuff that can be done in tables can be done in CSS, including nice columns - though it's a little hacky. It's worth it though - tables around your whole site are nasty :)

    I guess I was just looking for the easy way out. I'd like to be able to draw a layout visually and then have that converted to CSS.

    Yeah, tables are dead. Go CSS and DIV's or go broke!

    dreamweaver comes with css template, take a look and you can learn something from it, such as how to use CSS to build a basic 3 column site
