Look Mom, No Tables! Thursday July 29th

If you’re still using HTML table to make your web page layouts, you should start looking more into CSS. Douglas Bowman article “Throwing Tables Out the Window” talks about the benefits of using CSS over HTML Tables on one of Microsoft’s web page.

Here’s the introduction of his article :

With the CSS waters thoroughly tested by many sites that have taken the plunge, it’s time for us to start cheering from the water below, coaxing and encouraging those who haven’t yet jumped in, to make that jump. There’s no longer any reason to use tables for layout, nor is there reason to maintain multiple versions of a site solely for different desktop browsers. Throw the tables out first. Trust us, they’re not needed anymore.

If you’re looking for a good web site on techniques and benefits of designing with web standards, I recommend you browse through the whole site of A List Apart Magazine.
