Hi Rey, since people have started to use screen readers. The contents of a table are read in the order they appear in the source, not as they appear on the screen. Have you cared about linearization when using a layout table? See http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10-HTML-TECHS/#tables-layout for example. Also layout tables doesn't play nice on small screens. > I understand your rationale for using tables to display tabular data but > prior to CSS, they also served as the main method for positioning all > types of data and forms. Because they were used like that, shouldn't serve as justification to do so today. Sure, I have used them too (last time 2002 by the way), but I think it's really, really time to move on. Browsers even start to support CSS 3 columns... -- Klaus _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/
