| i hope this comment speaks for most. In a perfect world, CSS is awesome. tables are good, except when it comes to a point when you have to start nesting tables within each other to format your your layout. explanation is below:
--------------------------- people who love tables would switch over to CSS if it did what everyone(and standards) makes it out to be and actually worked and/or rendered the same in ALL browsers (css hacks don't count as css) but no matter what you say about CSS....(and i'm all for CSS) ...CSS can't solve all design issues...and if it can...it takes way to long to figure out... and if only a 10 year veteran/css master can implement flawless layouts then CSS isn't a practical language. in theory is CSS is awesome! i use tables for tables (tabular data)
and i use CSS to layouts and comesic design. think about it...if CSS rendered the same way in every browser abiding by CSS standards ...even developers who are pro tables...would switch over. the reason why there is such conflict between tables and CSS is because many of people have tried CSS countless number of times and hours trying to make their template/layout work...however they've came across so many road blocks ...they give up. i'm not saying tables are the ultimate design language...and i think people agree....they just use it because it works. in ALL browers! but me say ONE LAST THING! its not CSS the language that is problem....is the number of browsers that choose not to render CSS properly. |
