easy. say I have an image on the left, like a menu bar. It's a really nice menu bar, and it would suck like a hoover if it was explicitely 100 pixels thick. Also, on the right side, is a kickass border that wouldnt so kickass spaced. But somewhere else, say the middle, well, it's just a red and black stripe or something. i would do the following:

Code:

<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 width=100%>
  <tr>
    <td width=100><img src="menu_bar.gif"></td>
    <td background="stripe.gif">'main content'</td>
    <td width=20><img src="right_border.gif"></td>
  </tr>
</table>

When you do this, the left and right side align magically to the left and right, and the middle expands to accomodate. It works really well.
