From: "CK" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
A client who is clinging to the web of yore, is still insisting on
tables being used for layout. It is the misconception tables
provide greater browser compatibility, the client supports IE 5.X
for MAC OS.
Wishing to bridge a gap of understanding through education, could
someone provide examples of standards based retro-fitted table
design? It is hoped seeing clean semantic code and CSS used with
low- bandwidth tables, will inspire greater confidence in CSS being
used solely for positioning and styling.
I'm not exactly sure what it is you are asking. A simple layout table,
styled with CSS can be as accessible as a CSS-positioned layout, save
for mobile devices using browsers that cannot automatically linearize
a table. But if you have to debate at that level with a client, then
there is a problem. Perhaps if you can restate the question with some
additional detail, more detailed responses could be made.
