Every respected Web-authoring Guru says that.
This is the era of table-less design, CSS code, XHTML compliant
websites.
Separate layout from content.
There's no reason to use tables any more.
Everything can be done with CSS.
Tables are so 2002ish ...
Do you agree with that?
I don't.
I've run into many situations where I just couldn't achieve the
desired effect in different browsers without using tables.
But it could be that I'm not well versed on the intricacies of CSS ...

I have in mind that you may have some misconceptions, that you

is you who should be sorting all this out, considering it is you
who is making the big claim. Table based layout can easily be
user friendly in respect to using the size of the screen. A
simple example is a 100% wide table that has 2 columns, one that
is enough to hold a navigation list, the other for all the
content. That is a table layout. It is plenty fluid in many
senses of the word. Naturally, if you are meaning that a table
layout cannot involve css or em based or % dimensioning and has
to involve tables within tables and whatever then you are putting
up a straw man. That discussion is long dead.

No, I'm not. Fluid design is much more than setting a table to 100%
width of the window. That concept is from the 90's.
Nowadays fluid layouts can adjust to text size, window size. Content
isn't limited to just the two columns you mention - in fact, content can
wrap around the navigation area. Images in the window can have text
wrapped around them. And a whole bunch more that goes into a true fluid
design.

I don't like tables for layout any more than you or dorayme. But you are
obviously babbling.
Everything you're talking about above, inasmuch as one can make sense of
it, can be achieved with tables and no CSS.
The main thing you seem to be thinking of here is floats. You can get
most of that behaviour with the deprecated align property.
In fact, to wrap text around an image, you don't even need a table: you
can just set align="right" (or "left") on the img.

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.
Data? Around a picture? In a table? What will it prove to show
text flowing around a pic in a table cell? If I can show you a
table with a cell that has a pic in it with text flowing around
it, will you then give up saying that "tables cannot really be
fluid"? Are you just going to use the word "really" as a licence
never to revise your statement and just keep hinting at its truth
instead of enlarging on it so that what *you* mean is clearer?
Just for the record, I do not think it is a good idea in general
these days to be using tables for making new pages (using them
for tabular data is another matter of course).

In response to the original posters questions and thoughts I believe
that it is in fact not the death of HTML as the W3C has just finished
gatharing a group of people together to work on a new update above the
HTML 4.01 that is the latest standard release of it. However, One of
the key engineers of Microsoft Internet Explorer is in a lead position
on that project. That could be a very bad thing considering that
Microsoft has publicly stated that their browser will Never Support
the mime type of application-xml . That being said Internet Explorer
will not support XHTML in the way it was created to be used it will
only change the mime type over to text/html which removes any of the
xml abilities from it.
As far as tables go you should still be using tables in your HTML
however only for tabular data or displaying of a chart or table and
not for other positioning. There is no reason to nest tables any
longer nor is there a reason to use tables to position images or even
blocks of text in appealing ways on a web page. Many of the elements
and tags of the old days are now deprecated and should no longer be
used in HTML however they have replacements in CSS.
I think overall it is a pretty good thing personally. Finally after
CSS has been around over 10 years it is starting to come of age and be
recognized as well as improving the web overall. You can make
navigation bars in CSS without images that function faster and do not
contain images yet appear to have a rollover effect that is faster
then JavaScript is.
I also believe it will eventually reduce the number of people out
there that just buy FrontPage and call themselves web designers
without actually knowing any code or programming. It is people of that
nature that have reduced the pay in this industry to a incredibly low
amount of money. Think about it most web designers are selling their
services for less then people will pay their auto mechanic to fix
their car. Most small business owners will try to build their web
sites on their own or higher a High school kid at minimum wage or less
to build them something on the web. Even if the Web designer has a
much higher education level then their auto mechanic.
As far as markup languages go both HTML and XHTML are here to stay.
However they will have to coexist with CSS from now on.

Simple for you, maybe. I find CSS incomprehensible 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.
Speaking from the viewpoint of a USER of the web rather than from the
viewpoint of a DEVELOPER of web sites:
I prefer web sites built with table-based layouts. I have trouble
reading the tiny, tiny fonts that are all the rage on the web these
days. I almost always increase the font size a step or two.
Table-based layouts seem to handle my font size increases without any
problems (for the most part).
CSS-based layouts seem to have trouble handling my font size
increases. This usually results in sections overlapping other
sections and, in many cases, some sections being completely obscured.
Sometimes, sections even vanish entirely, apparently being rendered
into some kind of void.
Right about now, I'm sure Ivory Tower types are blaming this on web
developers writing bad CSS or something. But the fact of the matter
is, if a tool makes it hard to do things right, then the tool should
probably be considered fundamentally broken.
As a result, I tend to consider CSS fundamentally broken for the task
of layout.

Look, it seems that we are on different wavelengths here.
I believe Jerry just likes to pick fights. You are wasting your time
here Jerry is a closed minded buffoon. He fears what he does not
understand
I was - naively I guess - hoping to get him to define a few
things so that the exchanges could actually be a bit informative
to whoever might read them on usenet. I suspect he is simply not
prepared to do the hard work of rubbing some words together.
The fact is that many table layouts are very fluid in all sorts
of good senses. There are some deeper senses in which they are
not - to do with platform and device variations. And there are
other senses in which they are not as easy to update, rearrange
or adapt as templates. But none of this stuff is he interested in
even listing (never mind explaining), hurling abuse, saying as
little as possible and oozing hints of knowledge and authority is
more his game. And ever ready with his oft repeated accusations
of trolling by people who do not fall into line with him quietly.
There is indeed a strong argument that people like him have a
fair number of the characteristics of a troll than those he
accuses.

Every respected Web-authoring Guru says that.
This is the era of table-less design, CSS code, XHTML compliant
websites.
Separate layout from content.
There's no reason to use tables any more.
Everything can be done with CSS.
Tables are so 2002ish ...
Do you agree with that?
I don't.
I've run into many situations where I just couldn't achieve the
desired effect in different browsers without using tables.
But it could be that I'm not well versed on the intricacies of CSS ...
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

Sorry your 2 examples look clunky. You need to go back to tables. CSS
is a lot of hype. We need to start telling the yahoooos what our
compliants are not what they what it to be.

I could not agree more.
I need to be honest here:
I can NOT believe that with the OP's lack of clue and understanding
about some rather fundamentall facts concerning website design that
he even expects to get payed for what he slaps together.
Baysicly, the OP is a hack, that's evident from the fact that he /
she / it uses third party templates.
Frankly if clients wanted third party templates, and CMS's they could
just install Joomla.
BTW, that's why I have not been much of a fan of the CMS packages I
have found, they are all reliant on templates that use very bloated
code.

Have to correct you there, Chad - I use Joomla for clients all the
time, but in no way do I depend on templates with bloated code. I
write the templates myself, and replace tables with divs where needed.
Obviously, this does need quite a bit of customisation, but that's why
they pay me for it ;-)

Yes, I must admit i'll be looking at template customisation very soon

I just did not like the default templates in Mambo.

Have a look at the new Joomla version, 1.5. Status is release

which one entirely accessible and tableless.

How do you find Joomla! Els? I have a client wanting to use it, and I
was pushing them more in the direction of WordPress (which I have more
experience with). They currently have Joomla! but I really can't get
to grips with it!

I've never used Wordpress, but Joomla is a piece of cake[*]. At the
same time though, I've now been using it for over a year, and I'm
still discovering handy features I didn't know about. (I guess that's
what you get for not reading manuals...)

Nice pissing contest guys! But it does really have anything to do with
the topic at hand, whether quality of design and skill translates to a
better web delivered product?

Well, you perhaps have a point there Paul. As Flash is not widely as
accessible as it could be.
However I am only useing it for one particular section / feature of
the website and for what it does it works well.
I am also planning other
sections in particular an our sites type section where I will place
examples of my work and descriptions etc.

(freewebdesignonline.org).
How are you going anyway, have you got more business yet?.

You may be considering accessible only through terms of visual
impairment. Children and possibly therefore those with learning
difficulties, often find pictures, and by extenson, Flash more
accessible than plain text.
Similarly the deaf; those born profoundly death may not have learned a
spoken language (English, Spanish, German etc) toa high level, and as
such may find pictures easier to comprehend than written words.
