Hey guys,
I've just subscribed to this list because i'm a web designer and after
reading Jeffrey Zeldman's Designing with web standards I discovered the

noob question is table-less layout meaning
literally?
Thing I have trouble getting my head round is the term table-less
layout. I have started doing entirely CSS based design where I add no
design info to the XHTML, and i've had great success, but I've not been
able to abandon the use
Duncan,
You do need to get your head around this or you remain trapped in the
old mindset, which mixes content and appearance.
A table, unless it holds tabular data, has no semantic meaning.
Especially if you are using nested components. You are including it in
your HTML only for the purpose

That's as complicated a structure as any I've seen, and almost
completely table-less.
That's a particularly good example, because it uses no tables to lay
out the page, but right at the bottom where they've got a list of
data, best displayed using rows and
Table-less just means tables aren't used for layout. When used to
contain tabular data, that's not layout, that's containing data that
SHOULD be in a table.
JMHO.
