I don't know, Murray... the web wouldn't be very interesting if it was all style sheets. :-D |

DIVs are used. However, it's not always true and for certain types of
layouts - especially stretchy ones or ones that require complex
matrices, tables are sometimes more efficient - especially if you factor
in that very few people understand CSS well enough to create such
layouts without following some (unnamed) CSS "gurus" down the garden
path of convoluted-ness :-)

Things that recent posters have said that they want to replace by using CSS instead, since they've heard that CSS is "better": - Tables Good. In most cases, a page can be made more efficient if positioned DIVs are used. However, it's not always true and for certain types of layouts - especially stretchy ones or ones that require complex matrices, tables are sometimes more efficient - especially if you factor in that very few people understand CSS well enough to create such layouts without following some (unnamed) CSS "gurus" down the garden path of convoluted-ness :-) - Layers Layers, as defined by Dreamweaver, are and always been CSS constructs. - Frames Emulating frames with position:fixed is a myth. It only works in certain scenarios and often results in truncating content into oblivion. - HTML Ha ha :-) - Templates Hee hee :-) - JavaScript A very big myth. CSS is a presentational technology. JavaScript is a rich behavioral language. The suckers who have fallen for "Suckerfish" are blissfully unaware just how unusable their pages can be. - DHTML It always was a good partner of CSS. Of course, now it's simply a silent partner of AJAX. - Images You can't replace images, but often can do cool things with tem via CSS or a combination of CSS and script. |
I appreciate these erudite replies, Al, but surely you don't think I was
unaware? :-)
