  • What's wrong with using &lt;table&gt; tags (especially when you're creating a _table_)?

  • Joseph nothing wrong. But CSS boxes is agood alternative if you plan to create a website with an accessibility part.

    A lot of special needs users have what is called a Screen Reader and they usually don't like HTML tags.

    With this boxes method, the reader has only the text to read.

    This is one example. Another one would be to provide a flexible method to 'skin' a page, like between different screen sizes or different browsers.

    Sure you can find more examples if you browse around ;-)

  • Not only that, every html junky I come across tells me I have to ditch tables and use floatable divs. This is more flexible and much, much easier to change when you want a new style/layout or change a box (&lt;td&gt; in tables) to another location on screen.



    Anyway, thanks a LOT for this link!

    Love it!
