    Tableless css layouts and separation of content and design are great ideas, really. And that's imo where the greatness ends. Almost every day at work I get convinced that tableless css was created by nerds who have no idea about real life design needs and think that a website is an xml file, styled for no specific reason.

    I can live with browser hacks and the fact that standards are not implementent properly.
    It's the standards themselves that are fucked up.

    Just today's example:
    http://komercja.com/nt/blah.html…
    Try to recreate the top menu without using a table. Mind that the site is supposed to be content managed so the number of menu items is unknown. They have to be spread evenly and the text in cells centered horizontally and vertically. Just a simple everyday website.

    Come on, DIV people, please help me. I'm sure you can easily achieve the same graphical menu result using list elements.
    Anyone?
