Ok, I shall try to be more prcise, even if I understand your post as the pro and cons of tables versus CSS. That was a reason I gave you a link to the first book. The link to the article is also related to your post. See what I write in red below. Regarding the second book, I think it is an interesting upgrade. So to your questions and my answers in blue (aside from the comment in red).

Yes, that is possible. You can even put the navigational elements in a file and include that file at the bottom of the code. I doubt that will have any SEO effect on Google.
By the way I am not convinced switch from the <table> tag to the <div> tag buys me anything from a bot looking at the page. They should be able to handle both.
Agree. And your thread is posted in the Google sub forum.
I can see maybe the navigation elements like a toolbar being placed at the end of generated code vs. the beginning having an affect. But does anyone have a research to back it up?????
I doubt so.
So what are the pros and cons of making the changes and is there any real reason I should do it?
Note: aside from separting styling, bahaviour and content. |
