Sorry, but I have to disagree. Tables as well as divs, spans etc. are containers. They are both html elements. I don't think that any standard has suppressed the table element from html and in my dictionary, hacking is modifying a program in an unauthorized manner. Are tables unauthorized? I never said that tables are meant for design. But even by w3.org standards they are used for displaying tabular data . What is in your oppinion the difference between a css driven and a css complemented page? Isn't in both cases the coding enhanced by the styling?
Please do not qualify others' statements as "silly". Let's keep this discussion in a friendly manner.
