Just asking as on a cd from a well known internet mag there was some templates for sites, and they used tables for there layout. The templates Visually looked good, but i thought tables for layouts were bad.

Tables should only be used when displaying tabular data, divs for layout.

If an entire layout is in table format then the designer has been too lazy. Creating a table layout is VERY quick compared to div/css, which is probably why you have a cd full of them.

Thats what i thought, i mean in the old days i used to design with tables, and liek you say its easy.
But this CD with the Mag the templates were made by a big firm. Just annoying that if they *companies* are still using tables for design makes me wonder why i should do it properly with all the effort thats involved
