Say you want a layout where you have places aligned on the left and then a
date on the same line aligned at the right:

Colorado 2000 - present
New York 1995 - 1999
Rhode Island Aug 1993 - 1994

etc.

How would you do this?

But.... what's the plus to using tables in this case?

There is no plus to using tables (other than, its what most of are used to).
This can be accomplished using css which is always better for content
layout.

I only recently discovered stylesheets. Until now, I was using tables for
all kinds of layouts, and believe me, I've become a master. Check out
just the front page of my website if you want a taste of the lengths I've
gone to with tables. However, I was wondering much I could get with
one or the other. In particular, I'm trying to layout my resume, and I
thought it might be messy to mix stylesheets with tables. But perhaps
that's the right way to do it.

Use tables, my man.

Right-align the right TD.

This is a very relevant use of tables.

Why drive a bicycle 100 km when you can take a car?

Sid

o.k...maybe we need clarification on which one is the car. You tell me
which one is quicker to type.

<table width="100%" border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" summary="">
<tr valign="top">
<td valign="top" width="50%" align="left">left text</td><td valign="top"
width="50%" align="right">right text</td>
</tr>
</table>

or

<span style="text-align: left">left text</span>
<span style="position:absolute; right: 0;">right text</span>

Now, if you still think a table is quicker...what if after designing this I
decided I wanted "right text" to actually be on the left and I had created
100 static pages. If I used tables I would have to go into every file and
remove </td><td valign="top" width="50%" align="right"> and replace it with
a space (that's a lot of work). If I had created the layout with css. I
would just go into my one *.css file and remove the "position:absolute;
right: 0;" and I'm done and I just saved myself quite a bit of work.

The first span is superfluous.
