posticon Why tables for layout is stupid


Why tables for layout is stupid:
problems defined, solutions offered

This site gives an excellent explanation for why people should be using CSS instead of tables for layout as much as possible.

Some of the actual CSS they show on that site could be written better, so don't rely on their code so much as their explanations.

Also, they say it's ok to use one or two tables instead of nesting several tables and using several extra table cells with spacer gifs, but there are ways to use CSS that they didn't seem to be aware of when they wrote this, so I disagree with their exceptions for table usage.

Even with this little area where I feel their advice is lacking, I highly recommend reading "Why tables for layout is stupid," because it's written in terms that most people should be able to understand. I could be wrong about the "most people" comment because it's second nature to me, so don't feel bad if you need to ask questions. emoticon
