For free? ;) Thanks Rimantas :o)
I can hear what you're saying and agree that it is poor practice to advocate blind use of tables. Wherever possible, I will look to pure CSS - http://www.dataperception.com - when the design permits. As you say, don't promote tables when better and more appropriate tools are available to do the job; however, when they don't exist or their quality is questionable ... But here's a thought: isn't basic table formatting just the same as div layout. You're using a container framework in which to display content?

For free? ;) And "hacks" issue is pretty gray area. Using tables involves hacks too, only they are in the blood of experienced web developer, so s/he hardly notices using them. >I'd sooner wait for some decent columnar formatting options then, when the >time comes, do a search and replace on the tabular structure. That's ok. I've already mentioned earlier that this particular site is a very good if not example of hybrid layout method. And I'd be happy if web developers would built sites this way, cause it is much much better than current situation. But believe me others would implement this design using tens of tables. I don't object building sites this way. My point is - there is no need for advocating table layouts, use it if needed, but do not promote them.
