Excuse me...IIRC, yesterdays webdevs didnt have a choice when it came to positioning _hence_ they used tables. The trend caught up and even the browsers fine tuned table positioning. It wasn't until CSS and Divs came into being and were properly supported by IE ( the major player ). Next the awareness spread and _now_ webdevs are using Divs. Yet majority dont use them even till now. Reason? Inertia :P The point still remains IE != Standards compliant. AND even though it claims to support HTML, it still has bugs and quirks that need hacks to get around.
