masterpages and css - 7/23/2008 21:54:09
if you're using masterpages and there's no code on the content pages other than for the content, does it really matter much for design and/or performance if you use css or tables to layout your masterpage? not that i would, unless the design needed it but it seems like it'd at least matter less, if not at all. maybe the question is whether or not when you're using masterpages if the masterpage code has to load for every content page or is it perhaps cached? masterpages certainly seem to take some of the work out of managing sites, better than includes did or even dwt's, i'm just wondering if they take some of the work out of viewing them too.
thanks for your thoughts

No matter what method you're using to design your site it's always best to use the recommended methods which would be CSS and divs for layout and presentation. Tables should only be used for tabular data.
Tables are slower to download but that's not the only reason they should be avoided for layout. They're less accessible, harder to maintain, unsemantic and contrary to the W3C recommendations regarding web design.
