This is a general inquiry from a discussion that some people were having last
week. They were discussing whether to use tables in webapp design or go
tableless. Everyone was using VS2008 (at least they agreed on something). I
thought this topic would be a good idea to toss out to this newsgroup to see
what others do (or use or not use) in designing your webapps. Plus it gets
you away from the usual discussion topics and allows you to express your
opinions and thoughts.
Thanks. |

To be sure, the answer to this seems somewhat based on what is currently in
vogue and I see nothing inherently wrong with using tables for layout.
That said, I do think there are some advantages to using CSS instead of
tables for overall page layout. Some of these advantages related to the
degree with which you can control each layout element, and the ability this
gives you to create completely different layouts using the exact same HTML.
So, yes, if it's a table then use an HTML table. But if you are laying out a
page design, I'd use CSS.
