Just save yourself the pain and go back to tables. I don't say that lightly either. The headache that is associated with Dynamic Pages is beyond the value of using them. UNLESS you have specific needs that only DHTML will provide.
To use CSS and make it look nice on every platform is almost impossible and when it breaks it breaks bad. Whereas with tables it is quick and easy and looks the same across most platforms.
I know I know. It isn't "best practices". ack phoooey. I used to be a die hard DHTML/CSS person but realized a page that should have taken 15 minutes to layout was taking 15 hours with all the different browsers.
So unless it is unavoidable, stay away from DHTML.
Of course you can use CSS etc for effects and tables just for object placement and general layout.
One day, all the browsers will look at styles the same way. Oh, and frogs will fly too.
