Tables for Layout is Stupid

Still not convincing why tables for layout is stupid? Well, read this website then.

Cool graphic, cool CSS's effect (check the Main Section link) and cool content.

If you still not convincing then.. well, see you in the future then ;)

Wow, it is an awesome cool seminar’s material. Evangelist in CSS!

Seems I have to confess that my old handcraft website is ONLY linked to CSS, NOT YET uses it correctly. Time to rebuild? Gozz… so many works.

Forgive me, my visitor, I was so unaware about this important thing.

tableless layout is the best.. I have forgotten how to create a table in HTML since I never have any tabular information within my documents. So, whenever I need to use table on my documents, I have to check the xhtml specification :P

Ideologically correct.

I am very impressed — and somewhat rethinking seriously — that it is the semantics which is very important and must lay behind the web pages. Let the browser renders all visualy.

That is what I criticize, for example, in MS Word’s math editor, compared to TeX’s approach. User of Word must be deal and busy enough with how to expose formula (superscript, subscript, etc.). While in TeX, anybody just write formula and it will be rendered automagically.
