Nearly every design I use that is anything other than pablum ends up needing some kind of "trick" and often a different treatment for IE. It is true that so many people have been working to get current CSS to work that there is a "solution" for nearly every problem. This doesn't mean there aren't problems, however, and finding the solution I need is often quite time consuming and frustrating, making projects take much longer than I would like. This situation seems to have driven a lot of people not willing to struggle with CSS and IE back to tables. What I really do hope is that CSS-3 does have some clever and flexible approaches, particularly to positioning, that are as predictable as tables and flexible enough to allow for elegant designs.
The Sitepoint book proposes beginning to move away from IE 6&7, offering several strategies for doing this, all with the goal of pushing people to upgrade to IE8. It suggests that this is the beginning of a new cycle that will push CSS and site design to a new level eventually and sooner if there is a new press toward conforming to an improving CSS standards. --Kenoli On Nov 3, 2008, at 5:52 PM, Blake wrote: > On Tue, Nov 4, 2008 at 12:41 PM, Gunlaug Sørtun <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: >> Personally I'm hoping to see something better than table for layout >> before too long, so we can have some progress. > > Honestly I don't feel that restricted by current specs.
