Unequivocally.
I don't.

Tables are the easiest
If you need something simple use tables
That's not true. CSS is simple and more powerfull then layout tables.
As an example check out this template I made.
http://freewebdesign.awardspace.biz/temp/template.html
While I agree with you that CSS adequately provides for layout, your
example not impressive.
On my browsers (galeon, iceweasel), there were anamolies. The left
panel is shifted down about 0.5em from the right panel. That is, there
is a yellow space between it and the "header", which the right panel
lacks. As a result, not only is there a perhaps undesired yellow space
below the left panel and the footer that is wider than that below the
right panel.
Apparently it is the result of using the KompoZer utility, and it does
not speak much for it. The stylesheet looks confused (the navbar div
seems to be within the header div). As a template, should not the
margins be omitted, or at least set ot defaults?

That's the best thing you get until you have to nest those divs.

Sometimes the only way is to use a table. Sometimes. Only sometimes and only
for a very small part of a page.
One of those times is, of course, if one is offering up tabular data, which
point you seem to have missed.
Tabular data cannot be displayed with CSS?

Given the site you offered up for review over at alt.html.critiq ue I would
have to agree with this.

And guess what the content is marked up with? (Hint: HTML.) So either
you or whoever's prognostication s you're reading is confused.
W3 recommends the use of CSS
CSS implementation is actually more than 10 years old.
As far back as 17 December 1996 W3C published CSS level 1
Recommendation (CSS1): http://www.w3.org/Press/CSS1-REC-PR.html
"The design community has confirmed that using CSS promotes beauty
while making it easier and less expensive to build sites, " said Bert
Bos, W3C Style Activity Lead and one of the original co-authors of the
specification that became CSS level 1, published on 17 December 1996. http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS10/reactions.html
Is there some reason you had to post this two five newsgroups?
A very good one, in my humble opinion: because it's relevant to all of
them.
I always like to get second opinions, specially from people who are in
the field.

You could, but why would you want to? Tables are intended for tabular
data. Use the right markup for the job.

It's not a nightmare if you understand it.
True, but CSS != fluid design
And if you want something to
look *exactly* like you design it, create a PDF.
That is not true at all. While it may not look exactly the same on
100% of the visitors, you can design it to look the same on the
overwhelming majority of visitors. If it were not this way the
corporate world would be rushing to use fluid design. But they
aren't, they are using fixed width. Because that is what people want,
and that is what best suits the corporate world.
I'd prefer to have
fluid designs which adjust to the size of the user's window.
And the key to your statement is "I'd prefer...."
I prefer fixed width. So why is what I prefer wrong, and what you
prefer right?
It isn't. It is a preference. Neither of us is right or wrong.

That isn't relevant, but based on what I've seen of your work, then I'm
a lot farther along than you. But instead of doing some learning on your
own to improve your own understanding, you decide to waste people's time
with the tired 'tables vs css' drivel.

Of course it can, and the default styles for <table>, <tr>, <tdetc.
will usually give you a good layout for your tabular data.
You can also use CSS to do tabular layouts of non-tabular data.
You can separate layout from content to your heart's content, and layout
your elements with display: table, display: table-row, display:
table-cell, etc., if you require table-layout behaviour, whether the
content is tabular or not.
It just isn't supported in the current version of IE. That's a
completely different issue though. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Hi everyone,
I try to write a simple web crawler. It has to do the following:

2) Extract news headlines from the HTML file
3) Put the headlines into a RSS file.

In my opinion an absolute YES !
Take a look at what we are doing ! we create TAGS, things like <H1> etc.
and although there are tools (dreamweaver and the like), they are all at the
lowest level of programming (something like assembly as oposed to C++ etc.).
These tools create "brain-dead" developers that constantly have to plough
through tons of tags to do the simplest thing.

Hello,
I have read about the problems that IE has when using a doctype of HTML
4.01 Transitional. I was advised to use Strict wherever possible.
My question is, does the same apply to XHTML 1.0 Transitional? I develop
sites using ASP.NET, which emits valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional, but not
XHTML 1.0 Strict (for example, it includes a hidden form field with the
name of _VIEWSTATE, which isn't valid in Strict, but is in
Transitional).
