Maybe your host does have multiple IP adresses. A website can be configured to listen to multiple IP adresses for incoming requests.
What happens when you ping or traceroute that second IP adress?

*{

	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
	border: 0;
	font-size: 100%;
	font: inherit;
	vertical-align: baseline;
	direction:rtl;
}

????????

depends what you are trying to do of course: I'd name the font. The font-size is meaninless too, it fundamentally says keep the font at the current size. I also think the vertical-align is unecessary.

What do I think?

I think it is clumsy and inelegant.
Define it in the CSS page as a named style, adopt a neater, clearer presentation, and try not to clutter it.

Someone may have to follow you later, and one look at this will not help them, and will make them think you are a terrible developer.

Inelegant code is a bugger to maintain, so keep it simple.

As others have said, it's too much. What you have, in effect, attempted to do is to add a universal selector here; and there's already inbuilt functionality for this in the * tag.

List is definitely better and faster than table.

Go by W3c thumb rule,

5.3: "Do not use tables for layout unless the table makes sense when linearized. Otherwise, if the table does not make sense, provide an alternative equivalent (which may be a linearized version). [Priority 2]".
5.4: "If a table is used for layout, do not use any structural markup for the purpose of visual formatting. [Priority 2]".

There are two schools of thought on this:

School 1 is that tables are OK for styling, and it is possible to style this was. I don't do this.

School 2 [the one I belong to] is that you should never use tables for formatting as it loses the flexibility for formatting. Additionally (possibly more importantly) the html tags have a symantic meaning, tables are for tabular data. This reaps other benefits too: a well designed page can be ordered so a screen reader (for the partially sighted/blind) reads in the logical order which isn't always the same as the visual order. I almost (read 99.99%) never put any styling inline in the HTML, I do it all through CSS. See CSS Zen Garden[^] for examples. For each design the only thing that is different is the stylesheet.

IMO you should use the tags for their intended symantic purpose, others do have a different point of view.

Ma'am;

I have built a tree witch each node is rendered to a table, just like the code below:

html"

<table>
<tr>
<!-- tds to hold lines and +/- img -->
...
<td>
Node Value
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Should I change it to something else?

. I may be dead ringer for Kate Winslet (see my signature), but in reality I am a whacking great chap, which is why I found the Kate Winslet thing funny as I'm about as far removed from her as you can get (or I would be if I grew a beard)! In any case, please call me Keith or Abu Adam.

Anyhoo in response to your question, no I wouldn't do it that way: I'd put them into nested divs, something like:

<div id="tree">
  <div>
    <div>
    </div>
    <div>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div>
    <div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Then you can do something like :

div #tree
{
   //root styling here
}

div #tree > div
{
   //1st level styling here
}

div #tree > div > div
{
   //2nd level styling here
}

The actual styling depends on what you want to do, this might not be the most efficient.
One further thing I'd like to suggest before you procede: take a look at the tutorials here: http://www.w3schools.com/[^] especially "Learn HTML" and "Learn CSS". I get my student to go through these as an introduction to our "Web Programming" course.

Generally, Tables are outmoded and are frowned upon.
DIVs for design and better to use a list in a DIV than a Table.

(Also DIVs have CSS capabilities so are more manipulatable for presentation purposes.
