I'm looking into learning this whole CSS thing, and I picked up a book "Cascading Style Sheets The Designers Edge" by Holzschlag (published by sybex) and it's pretty cool, but when it gets to the "Reconstructing a Table-Based Site" I get confused.

The first section leaves a basic table layout so that the site can maintain backwards compatibility. Instead of using a whole bunch of nested tables, they just leave two, one for the header graphic, and one to create a three-column layout underneath the logo table. I like this idea because then I can split my logo into pieces for faster download and precise positioning.

my question is, is that a bad idea? How would you arrange an irregular logo using just divs?
