Hi,
You could possibly use how your college's own Website is coded to support
your case.
I don't know which college you're at, but look at how their Website is
coded - I would be surprised if their still using the methods your tutor
is teaching.
I feel your frustration in the way our future experts are being taught
our field. I agree that you should not allow your emotions to show when
and if you are trying to convince the school to see it via the
international standards. If I recall from your beginning posting you
mentioned something about the University of Birmingham while their
website home page has a few errors on it they did not use tables for
positioning. Their CSS also validates. I would suggest that the only way
you are going to get any school policies to change would be by
requesting a meeting with the head of the appropriate department of the
school. As far as your tutor goes I think you may find that they want
you to build your pages with tables because of their lack of
understanding of CSS or other technologies such as JavaScript.
The school itself may want to teach you to use tables for positioning
simply because it is easier for them to break apart the different
technologies. High Schools are teaching HTML at this point and they are
teaching by the old ways prior CSS. I think you will also find that the
school systems are still promoting deprecated tags such as the font tag
they may even teach you to use the embed tag as well even though it was
never a part of HTML at all.
