Hi yeah I've sorted the problem now...
As Rowdie pointed out the content of modules gets outputted at the location of <{$xoops_contents}>, I'd assumed it would displayed within $xoops_ccblocks which was the reason why I saw nothing when I navigated away from my home page (made up of blocks). I've since made a new template with my custom styling and the <{$xoops_contents}> tag which gets included when modules contents needs to be displayed. See
this thread.
As for the tableless layout, it's been a lot of trial and error. For me this has consumed quite a bit of time in development. The site I'm working on is a 100% width, 3 column with a liquid centre(English UK spelling Wheeler
) column. I've tried numerous methods to get the specifications I was looking for but in the end adopted the BlueRobot 'Flanking Menus' layout which has proved to be stable cross browser/cross platform. It also has the added bonus of rendering the centre column before the left & right in the markup, which gives you extra SEO cred'. Here's the layout:

@fireguy: If you're thinking of going down the tableless/css layout route then you'd do well to choose XOOPS for your CMS. It's already xhtml and the smarty template system is great for getting control over the markup.
