Stackoverflow uses html tables for layout, what now
I was surprised when I checked the source of a question page on Stackoverflow and found many nested html tables used for layout.
The last 20 years or so I thought it was wrong to do so.
Is this opinion outdated?
- setra 11y agoI find this hilarious because normally you get 10000 responses about not using tables or iframes if you post a question there that involves them.
- marxidad 11y agoIt's still not a good idea to use tables.
- 135711 11y agoWhy would they do it if it had any real disadvantages?
- CryoLogic 11y agoIt's also written in .net, which some people on SO will suggest against due to the closed source ecosystem.
- draw_down 11y agoIf Stack Overflow jumped off a bridge, would you follow them?
- znpy 11y agoSame is for HN.
- 135711 11y agoCool. Thanks for pointing that out
