Re: CSS based design vs. Table based design
The key words sushil mentioned was "based design." He didn’t mention that it was bad to use tables for tabular data. You still need tables. My general rule: if its something that looks like it belongs in Excel, it belongs in a table on your site. But as for something to base the design of the whole site on, XHTML/CSS I feel is best.
One common misconception among some clients looking for a website I’ve had is them wanting the whole site designed in pure CSS. Of course I opened my big mouth and said, HTML still has to be used, and they insist they have read that "pure CSS" or "all CSS" is possible and better, while they don’t realize by pure CSS we mean the styling. Now I keep my mouth shut and say...OK. Anyone else experienced this? We need to be careful how we post, for newcomers and potential clients both read forums.
