    the problem aside from shitty bulky code is that all browsers handle tags an itty bit differently. which is a headache to say the least but manageable when you're only dealing with a 1 or 2 px difference between p tags,

    but what if you use tables and you have to worry about the quirks of several tags? table th td tr theader tbody... etc. even with a global reset you can't control completely how browsers render these things.

    and some browsers don't understand all the css equivalent properties, like cellspacing. (can't remember what it is in css, but it's not margin) and then there are issues with bordercollapse: some browsers do this by default, some don't.

    learn css div positioning and don't deal with tables no more

    • and sometimes empty cells don't show up...7point34
