wow - this was a great walk down memory lane. I remember using all of them, particularly tables for creating complicated layouts. it worked beautifully but was an unbelievable pain to maintain when making layout changes. what's wild though is that this technique eventually went way beyond the category of "hack". slicing tables into layout became officially supported by major software such as dreamweaver (big at the time) and photoshop! yes, you could open a static design in photoshop and use the "slice tool" to cut it up into an HTML table. good times...
