Nicole -> Re: Illinois Accessibility Standards (4/9/2007 6:11:14) http://www.frontpagewebmaster.com/fb.asp?m=363201 Wouldn't you think an organisation advocating accessibility standards would at least post their report on a site that didn't use tables for layout?

jaybee -> RE: Re: Illinois Accessibility Standards (4/9/2007 6:31:01) In the strictest sense that's true but it is possible to make tables accessible, just not recommended due to all the extra work involved. [edit]Can't spell my worms this morning.

Nicole -> RE: Re: Illinois Accessibility Standards (4/9/2007 6:35:26) Yes I know, I'm not really picking, it's good to see people in the States who take it seriously. Thing is, I use that Firefox Web Developer Toolbar for everything, it's a wonder that the "outline table cells" feature hasn't worn out. Also wondering how often other people use that when looking at sites, especially sites that look really impressive, even "mimicing" a css layouts only to find that the designer cheated!

womble -> RE: Re: Illinois Accessibility Standards (4/9/2007 14:36:08) I wouldn't say that using tables is cheating (/goes off to wash mouth out with soap and water) - sometimes there might be a valid reason for using tables over CSS. As Jaybee says, as long as they're marked up correctly they can still be accessible.
