- paxys 4y agoTry using a screen reader on a website that uses HTML tables for layout and you will quickly realize how wrong that statement is.
- marginalia_nu 4y agoEh, can work pretty well compared to CSS. Table cells are always in the order they appear on screen, and if you read them in sequence the order makes sense. That does not apply with CSS based designs.
