Please don't tell him to learn how to code using tables...it's certainly the bad and outdated way of web designing. Daevild, I suggest you to learn proper structural markup: divs, paragraphs, lists + CSS styling. This way coding is much easier and the outcome is nicer, more flexible and compliant with web standards ( = platform-independent). It's a long way but if you want to achieve the best effect, you should do it properly.
