How is it that you find tables easy, and I do not?
I began my first web class four years ago. Having used some SGML years ago for documentation on IBM mainframes, I thought HTML would be easy. Not so! The class was all about tables! By the time I was finished, I couldn't figure out what the heck a page was about from looking at the source, buried as the content was by HTML tags and acres of attributes and spacer gifs and ... The very last exercise did not explicitly call for tables for layout. So I did it in CSS. Target browsers were NN4 and IE5 Windows at 800 x 600. I just revisited this exercise in IE7 - and it still works. I did not find it easy, but it was certainly, for me, not harder than tables. Furthermore, I see that I can read and update either content or style without the one massively impacting the other. What, I have to ask, is easy about tables? Cordially, David --
