Forget IE6, unless you have an client that demands it. I've only ever seen that once and it was years ago. > java, css, xhtml, javascript lol well that's the stack I've been working for 10 years so perhaps I am biased. >that it runs consistently on all the different browsers out there is a bigger task. This is not much of an issue anymore. jQuery and GWT do well enough. >say you want to list the rows from your db: do you use a table? Yes, you use a table. You're displaying tabular data.
