"Tableless" CSS took away a few useful layout-setting techniques tables had. Fast forward almost ten years, we're still stuck with this half-baked solution.
What tables had and is gone now:
- autostretch cell width (within a row)
- equal height columns
- vertical centering within a block elementA lot of intuitiveness was taken away too. It's probably good as it made harder for civilians to make websites and provided us more work.
- these are all easily enough replaced with the right css though and pro vs. cons css still wins.airey
- I'm not making an argument pro or con, of course it wins. Just saying it has serious and stupid design flaws.raf
- ..and these are not "easily replaced" - it's always duct taping of some sort.raf
- yeah you're right. although i've always been a fan of the handyman's secret weapon!airey
