Html Utopia designing without tables using CSS

by Marius Gheorghe 9. December 2007 14:47


This is a book that presents the advantages of doing a design with div + CSS instead of tables. The books starts with a reasonably complex design and show its implementation using CSS. If would have been nice to also show a "table" implementation for comparation.
From my point of view the book fails to "convert" me to CSS. I DO understand all the theoretical advantages of a CSS based layout but the reality is quite different. It takes a LOT of time to create a reasonably complex CSS based layour that works fine on multiple browsers (it takes even more time if you want to support older versions of Internat Explorer). Honestly i do prefer to use a table based layout and use the extra time to make sure that i have a solid application.
But that's just my point of view....
