I’m looking for information on best practices and tips and tricks on combining tables with CSS layout. A site I’m working on has a CSS layout and a fair amount of tabular data. I’m sure I saw such a document once, but I don’t recall where.

And example of what I’m interested in is how table widths affect and overflow CSS layouts in various situations. Any pointers?

As far as optimisation goes, I know there were some great tips and recommendations in "Speed Up Your Site" by Andrew B. King. If you have a copy, take look at chapter 4 and on page 186 and 187. I'm not too sure about table widths and overflow though. I'll have a look around and see what I can find.

Didn't SitePoint put out a book a while back on CSS and tables?
