So where's the dividing line between table based design and CSS
driven ?
My searching thus far has turned up Meyer, comments about the Zen
Garden, and a few other proponents across the Net implying or
stating
that CSS driven means pretty much all CSS based, not just some.. and
I'd
like to know why they are right.
While it's usually best if you can lay out a page without tables,
tables and CSS are not mutualy exclusive. Tables are not the opposite
of CSS :-). This scenario also separates presentation from structure:
markup:
<table><tr>
<td id="content">
Main content
</td>
<td id="sidebar">
Sidebar
</td>
</tr><table>
CSS:
#content {
padding: 1.5em;
border: 1px solid black;
}
#sidebar {
padding: 1.5em;
border: 1px solid black;
background-color: green;
}
Of course, it's just as easy to use DIVs and sometimes even to use
nothing :-)
