Eno's liver salts. Not Eros, Eno's. The jingle went this a way:

E-N-O, Eno!
When you're feeling low, Eno!
It's mild and gentle, and good tasting too
E-N-O, Eno!

Lovely to taste, very effervescent....

Absolute positioning in CSS with borders will effectively simulate a
table. For example:

div.tableCell1 {
position: absolute;
left: 1px;
top: 20px;
border: 1px solid black;
}
....
<div class = "tableCell1">Cell 1</div>
This would make 1 simulated table cell. You'd have a lot more freedom
than coding it with a table.

Problem 1:
This won't scale if the user changes the font size.

Problem 2:
Depending on how many "cells" you have, this could easily force a
horizontal scrollbar.

Problem 3:
This is very inefficient coding, since each "cell" would require its
own class or id, meaning a lot of needless duplication. For example,
if you had eight "cells", and you decided to change their widths, you'd
have to change your code in eight different places, even if the "cells"
were all the same size.

Sounds like a glorified poop enhancer. Well, I don't have any trouble with
that. In fact some people say I do it too facilely already.

In my clinical experience, I have found that folk who talk this
way usually do have a bad problem in this and other areas. You
have boasted about your various prowesses, both sexual and now
anal. I think you can save yourself some money Boji by not seeing
anyone professionally for now. Your up and coming meeting with
Officer Bud White will be very professional, let me assure you.
And free. (I noticed he slayed a tiger last night as I was
passing a TV set)

Au contrare, mon amie. I poop when I want to and am quite ambidexterous.
Furthermore, back in my caveman days, I had a fondness for lizard gizzard,
and that's really why the dinosaurs are extinct.
