Hi, > are you asking why using tables for layout is stupid? :-) > http://www.hotdesign.com/seybold/
I know using multiple tables, nested "n" levels deep is stupid and results in lots of excess code. So is using font tags etc. That's why I don't design that way. But sometimes it is (to me) unavoidable to use a table, because the alternatives just don't work consistently enough across browsers. Thanks for the link. http://www.hotdesign.com/seybold/14transitional.html sums it up for me, while the pages following it don't apply to sites I design. I've seen plenty like that, including a site that has a home page with 40k of HTML that includes 40 tables, some of which only hold ONE word (4 characters of content hidden in a total of 262 bytes of tag soup) Regards -- Bert Doorn, Better Web Design www.betterwebdesign.com.au Fast-loading, user-friendly websites ***************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help *****************************************************
