Hi, all...

I have used tables for many years as my primary design structure.
I've used CSS to tweak the design of the tables, and the cells, 
forms, etc., in the tables.

Now I'm considering converting to using CSS as my primary design
structure.

However, I just wonder...at what point does it become more desirable
to use CSS as opposed to tables?  Aren't tables more compatible?
Is it a matter of CSS being easier to maintain in a group of designers
or in a corporate setting where changes that come down the pipe
are more easily made by changing style sheets?

Sure...CSS is less code, but in today's broadband world, is the
difference in code really that significant?

I see a lot of issues discussed about the different ways browsers
handle CSS...I'm concerned that I may spend too much time trying
to get CSS design to display correctly and too little time on the
web applications that I build.

I haven't built any sites where accessibility is a requirement, so that's
not an issue I *must* address.  But, I've often wondered, too, why
the visitor trying to access site content didn't just change the resolution
of their monitor if they want everything, including graphics to appear
larger...why is all the burden of accessibility placed on the designers?
Maybe I'm missing something here, having never dealt with the issue...

Finally, anyone know of any good articles that addresses this issue
for those of use considering changing to CSS-based design and away
from table-based design as a primary design structure?

Thanks,

Rick
