    There is not a quick fix that someone can give you that will sort it...

    The div layout needs to be made correctly from scratch to sort all the issues. Would be quicker than trying to figure out and correct the one you have done.

    I do full tableless coding if you need it doing.

    Well, I thought it was going to be quick and easy using Dreamweaver's "Convert Tables to Layers" function.

    Guess not.

    What's the easiest, quick fix to improve the visibility of the text to spiders?
    Is it fine to leave it in tables?

    Search engine spiders don't care for the most part if your content is in tables or DIVs. But using semantic markup can make that text more accessible to people using screen readers, PDAs/Blackberries, Web enabled cell phones and anything else that has an internet connection (such as your TV if using MSN TV - formerly WebTV; here's an emulator for it: MSN TV Emulator).

    If you're interested in making the most of semantic markup for mobile users, check out this post I wrote on SitePoint last year:
