float and DIV designing has several problems

1) the height of the container for floated elements doesn't grow 
automatic - very bad problem
for several rows of images because you should set the height of the 
container taking account the *maximum* height. Tables don't have this 
problem
2) height of divs are different. If you try to set height as 100% that 
will fail in many situations. Tables don't have this problem

Because of serious layout problems I have sometimes changed DIV layout
into conventional tables. Concening the latter problem DIVs are usable 
if you don't need to set background properties.
