Lol you're a brave man Dominic. I can totally understand your point
of view. I'm not sure why others have said they have problems doing
layouts with tables. I could do any layout and not browser test it
and know it would work fine albeit with bloated code. Since switching
to CSS I develop with 3 browser windows open which is a bit of a pain.
I'm now not sure whether I'd be faster with some layouts using CSS or
tables. I still haven't worked out how to do one thing with CSS and
come across it a couple of times. What I do know is that I'm always
impressed with the code. I do smile to myself on the odd occasion I
use tables (yes for tabular data) and think God this is easy. I think
that since it's now accepted not to support IE5, the days of tables
are over.
