Ok so I get the point that tables for layout = evil

BUT i'm wondering if it's ok to have, let's say a two row table; one kind of ''title'' row and one ''text'' row...And having this table styled / positionned by CSS.

No.

HTML Code:

<h*>Title</h*>
<p>Text.</p>
<p>Text.</p>
...

* = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. And then learn CSS.

Its ok *if* the data in the table is tabular data.

For example you have a column for title, a column for notes, and a column for number of pages, then in each row you add a new book. Thats tabular data.

But if you are doing a title for the site and some text, no tables.

If you send me $25.00 USD, I'll say it's OK.

Too funny.

Why would you want to use tables when it is easy enough to do in CSS?

RaelRode · 09-03-2008, 10:59

Tables are the sign of the devil, except for tabular data, hence the name tables. Lol.

That would require learning something and applying oneself. Not directed at Hysteria, but most people are too lazy to give up their bad habits; which is fine: more money for me.

Yeah agree, until you get some low quality "designer" that uses them.. and putting the trade into shame! (Also not directed at Hysteria)
