Tables vs CSS

PythonPython Forum LeaderThe Royal RAM
I know for a fact that a lot of you will vote for CSS, just like me.

Even though I dont use CSS for my layouts (because I dont know how) I would like to learn it...

Cast your vote and post your reasons...

    Ahh CSS, most wonderful littlest thing in the world... CUSTOMIZATION!! fully control over my layouts and site design. tables, i use them a little for some things so i wont "diss" them that much.. but yea css i'd recommend to anyone.

    When you use tables for your design, the display becomes awful when the bowser is resized or screen-resolution changed.

    Try CSS to handle these and the results are pretty much good.

    Tables are designed to hold tabular data. Period.
    CSS is for pretty much anything else. :)

    I love CSS.
    I don't think I even remember how to use tables now.

    css hands down.......even though ive ran into more cross browser errors while using css i can make the preview layout and the finished tempalte look identical while with tables it just creates to much space between everything and load time is much greater with CSS

    I used to use tables for my old site, but now i've learnt CSS, dont think i'd go back to tables in a hurry, simply because of the power you have with css!

    I don't use tables anymore... ever.
    CSS is so much better as it's easy to use, it cuts bandwidth usage and you can make things like the CSS zen garden with it (if you have seen it and still doubt CSS, you need to stop using the internet).
    I can have a site which has multiple skins, but where the skins are easy to work with and can change the layout of the site instead of just the colours and without CSS design, the only way to do this would be to have HTML code in the skin which would make it more difficult to work with.

    Most recent change: Theme support is up and running... So long as I use my theme resource loaders instead of that in the Rails plug-in.

    what is that?

    A site dedicated to the power of CSS.
    It shows off an easily implemented, yet extremely powerful skin system which changes the entire layout of the site, not just the basic stuff tables limit you to.
    http://www.csszengarden.com/ is the address and some of the skins are quite cool.

    I use to be in favour of tables. But now I like CSS! Although for column layouts i do use tables as its a lot easyer! :D
