I know this whole thing is did to death already... but I just read some of
this, and it makes me think.
I suspect that a lot of the table based layout enthusiasts are people who
made a switch (partial even) from desktop publishing. Ron mentioned he
did, and I have some clients that have websites built in tables that think
like the webpage is a printed page. Most of them never look at code at
all, they just use Dreamweaver or something, and they want their content
to sit on a page and not move, the text to be the same size that they said
it was going to be, and look the same way to everyone... just like a
book/brochure/what-have-you.
I have had ( and surely others have also had) clients who were so insistent
the webpage (as designed by their long-time advertising company) be as
static as the printed page that they furnished a JPEG image of the desired
page and I was instructed that web page was to consist of that single image.
There is very little to be done when the client insists.
