This is a boring subject that is only brought up by clueless, lazy
people that haven't bothered reading the newsgroup archives.
All depends on what newsgroup archives you bother to read, you know?
Hmmm... that just tells me you did little or no research on your own.
But it could be that I'm not well versed on the intricacies of CSS ...
indeed
And I presume you certainly are?
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.
The poster just above you would surely disagree about the absoluteness
of that statement.
Which speaks a lot of both your ability to screen Newsgroups and to
understand the needs of today's web authoring.
I have done some learning on my own and what I learned is that is not
a unified criteria on this issue because of different browsers display
pages in different manners.
And I learned too that it does NOT happen when using tables.
In that sense I am long way before you.
Look around just a little and you'll find out for yourself. It's worth
the effort, believe me.
P.D.
Where the heck did my answer to:
"I disagree with anyone who agrees with any absolute statement. "

"then you'll disagree with absolute positioning"

Tables are the easiest
If you need something simple use tables
That's not true. CSS is simple and more powerfull then layout tables.
Simple for you, maybe. I find CSS incomprehensibl e for anything beyond
specifying fonts and backgrounds, like trying to position boxes within
an overall layout.
And honestly, I don't want to learn, because as far as I'm concerned
tables work fine. Granted, improving the text to mark-up ratio on my
sites would probably help their search engine ranking slightly, but I'd
rather send my time figuring out new ways to make money.

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.
Read what I said. Then respond with some intelligence.
If it doesn't look "exactly the same on 100% of the visitors", it isn't
exactly the same, is it?
>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...."
Not at all. Any *competent* webmaster would be able to do such.
I prefer fixed width. So why is what I prefer wrong, and what you
prefer right?
So do most graphic designers I know. And that's fine for a piece of
paper. But it's shows complete incompetence on the web, which is a
fluid layout.
It isn't. It is a preference. Neither of us is right or wrong.
It is a lack of competence on your part.

You have said this twice now but have not indicated what you
mean. A table of tabular data can be very fluid or it can be not
very fluid (because of poor design and the use of fixed widths
etc). So what does it mean to say "cannot be really fluid"?

Let's see you wrap data in a table around a picture, for instance.

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.
That's due to the different colour on the body showing through.
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?
It was a template I developed for my own sites. http://freewebdesign.awardspace.biz now is useing it.
It should look a lot better as I changed a lot of things in the CSS.

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
You are misunderstandin g this. W3 recommends the use of CSS for
*presentation*. Without content marked up with HTML *to apply the CSS
to*, there is no web page. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

lowest level of programming (something like assembly as oposed to C++ etc.).
These tools create "brain-dead" developers that constantly have to plough

I have read about the problems that IE has when using a doctype of HTML

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).
