Guido: I've abandoned the "don't use tables for layout" meme...
- rufugee 17y agoHere here. While I haven't abandoned it, I do really, really hate CSS for layout. You get it just right, and then realize it completely sucks in another browser. As bad as cross-browser javascript used to be before prototype and jquery.
- xsmasher 17y agoAgreed. Why spend four hours creating a CSS layout that still won't match the height of the two columns when you can create a table in two minutes?
- tomh- 17y agoThere is a neat trick called "faux columns" which has been around for ages to help in most cases for equal height columns.
- tomh- 17y agoNot sure what the news value of this is, GVR is a very good programmer, but not a frontend engineer. This is kinda like a famous CSS expert/designer like Mark Boulton or Veerle Pieters giving up on SQL because it's so much more pain than what the MS visual studio wizards can generate for you.
- plainspace 17y agocss design is beautiful though. in general, if you put a table design next to a css design, the css design will be more aesthetically pleasing.
