jaybee -> RE: Tables Vs CSS (8/19/2006 17:58:37)

He makes a number of arguments there that are just plain wrong. The major one being that Microsoft might do something different. Unfortunately, Microsoft are actually falling into step with the other browsers and the replacement for FP, EWD, creates tableless pages.
Having read it, it seems to me that the gentleman doth protest too much. In other words, he can't do it so it must be rubbish.
Fact is, tableless pages are a complete and utter, right royal pain in the doodah when you first start using them. Why? Mainly because Microsoft's rotten browser has always handled them differently to all the others, but as previously mentioned, they've recognised the error of their ways and are fixing as much as they can for IE7, due out soon.
If you have an interest in accessibility, eg. making sure your site can be read and understood by the blind (using screenreaders) then you need to be looking at tableless. Having said that, it is confusing and not a good thing to try when you have a deadline looming.
There are plenty of sites with templates you can grab and play with. http://www.cssplay.co.uk/
