      Right but how would you even display a vertical menu back then? `float: left` was rather bad, so you went back to using tables[0]. Good luck making these responsive. [0]: and to using dozens of images sliced to fit your table cells, for that cool hover effect as well as round corners. :-)

        Why would documents have menus? Menus are for applications. And there was nothing wrong with tables for layout, especially back then when the alternatives were very brittle.

I never said there was anything wrong with tables. OP said there was nothing preventing the design from being responsive, to which I responded yes, there was, at least in a lot of cases. (Responsiveness was also mostly irrelevant back then because smartphones were not a thing yet.)
