CSS vs Tables

bq.Are they any benefits to using a full CSS integrated solution? No. There is no real benefit when you start to replace < table > tags with < DIV > tags and attempt to control it all in CSS. It’s one thing to use a css style to replace tech same fonts that will be used all over the place that may or may not change. But it’s another when you take the structure or placement of text out of the page. You essentially make it harder to figure out where things go in design view, and on top of that, maintain it in the first place. – DeCloak
bq.The article is a metric pantsload of distortions, half-truths, and self-serving assertions, sprinkled with an occasional out-of-context fact to create the appearance of reasoned opinion. The rationale seems to be that Decloak�s software uses tables for layout and does not support CSS layout except via user gymnastics; hence CSS layout is bad. One could refute each wrong-headed point, but why bother? – Jeffrey Zeldman The issue that came to my mind was creating a new site. I still consider myself a CSS novice, but the idea of using tables in place of divs gives me a headache. And I can’t imagine any existing site simply replacing every table with a div. It would be incorporated into an overall site makeover.
