Re: Layouting pages based on tables vs CSS layouts

Hi,

I could not agree with you, that it is necessary to use (indirectly)
tables.
It depends on you which widgets you are using. And quite frankly, I
avoid using table based widgets.
(table width 100% crash on msie8)
I prefer widgets based on absolute position. ..Layout..Classes for
example.

However, you must deeply understand css and its layout when NOT using
tables.
