Thanks for your feedback guys. So those who insist in creating table-less
layouts can not be done so all the time, there are times when you HAVE to
use tables or it wont work.
Would that statement be correct?
No. It's avoiding tables for positioning of elements that should be
avoided. Using a table for tabular data IS what the W3 suggests is proper.
but this:
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<p>Hi!</p>
</td>
</table>
style of "markup" is what we call "tag soup" and is, well, worthless for
the evolution of the web.
Is it even wroth it to fight to transform that kind of content into
table-less?
No. Not if you are after webstandards at least.
Use css for positioning, decoration, and so forth.
use a table for tabular data.
you wouldn't type your resume up in Excel, would you?
you probably wouldn't use Word to build a chart, either :D
