Oh, and I think that yes, CSS can display table-based info reliably, in browsers that support it, and using fixed width columns. If that table just ain't working for me, I throw a layer in with X,Y, and Z numbers, and voila, content where I want it. I can't help feeling dirty when I do it, though. The main argument I've seen against using a table for the whole page is that rendering is delayed until the content is loaded. The most valuable benefit of getting rid of layout tables is improved accessibility for those using screen readers, etc.
Layout tables are utterly contrary to that.
It's simply too soon to make the switch. To separate display from content. If you use tables to format your content, you can't have the same level of flexibility. It's not for everybody, but this is a good solution for content-oriented sites wishing to work on a variety of platforms. Scott Upton Powered by GreyMatter .
