After years of css+standards+"tables must die"purity I started using tables again for certain specific layout issues.
I tend to favor less code. So if I can do something instantly with a table that would take many extra lines of containing blocks and css, (not to mention extra math and numbers), I'll use a table. if nothing else, tables are certainly the cleanest way to achieve flexibly sized, equal-height columns. (This almost never comes up when I'm designing the site myself, but a lot of my work is coding other designers' mockups.) My tables are always clean and discrete with as few elements as possible (and often only one row). They're surrounded by and filled up with semantic markup. I'm really glad I learned to do without tables. I'm also glad that I learned not to be afraid of them, when they really are a practical solution. best, Jason -- http://jasondas.com ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
