No problem, Ben. Believe me I would never revert to the "old way".
I guess I was just surprised to see how well my friend's site worked
in 7 or 8 different MAC & win browsers with such outdated code.
Sorry, if it seemed like I implied that, but even if you don't, just
the experience of the pain of having to maintain that sort of code
would eliminate any thought of reverting to the old school way of
making web sites.

Exactly where in my posts did I say I create web sites in the style
of my friend?

None of those. I just mentioned that I was unable to convice my

through
trying to get a complicated layout to work in as many browsers.
I'm all for standards and everything else this list is about, but I
do feel we might be spending a lot of time preparing for a "State
Dinner" when what we are really going to attend is a "come-as-you-
are" BBQ in the backyard.
If it's HTML 2.0 I assume it's got numerous font tags mixed in with
the multiple nested tables. I guess you and you're friend only
create
web sites as a once of service and don't maintain them for your
clients because maintaining "tag soup" is not fun and that is the
biggest advantage of CSS and tableless layouts. Sure when you first
start out creating tableless layouts they take a while, but it gets
easier and faster the more you do it - probably like when you first
learn how to design layouts using tables.
