Need help from a CSS positioning guru (for IE 5)

Techwrlers please help!

I need to create a two column "table" 
but need to use DIV and/or SPAN tags 
*anything but* actual html table cells.  

Each column the "table" will contain 
varying amounts of text.  And where 
I'm having problems is how to align 
the "cells" of this "table" so that, 
for instance, the text in cell five 
of the first column aligns with the 
text of cell five in the second column.

If you're wondering why I just don't use 
a table, its because I'm using DHTML to 
dynamically hide/show various rows based 
on a user's query. Using an actual table 
structure doesn't work well because it 
sometimes produces large amounts of 
vertical white space between the visible 
cells (casued of course by all the hidden 
cells in-between). I'm using the CSS 
display='none' v.s. 'inline' or 'block' 
but none of these seem to work on a 
table in Internet Explorer 5.

I don't have the option of using any 
server-side solutions.  Its all got to be 
client-side.

So with that lenghty explaination ... my 
question again is, can I emulate a two 
column table structure using CSS?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
