Well, some of us web designers don’t want to face it, but the days of HTML table tags are going away, or at least a good part of the web design community would like it to.
This latest podcast explains why you should get into CSS layout without HTML table tags

CSS layout sucks in IE 6.0 and it hard to make work between IE 7.0 and Firefox. Going back and forth is a drag. I am sticking to tables for now until Firefox and IE learn to make it more consistent. I know people will come down on me, but I don’t care. Tables rule.

@Jack T – yes, CSS layout can be a pain, but you’re right, the people will come down on anyone still using tables.

I hated learning CSS layouts, but you’re right, most of the web design community is going tableless! It’s in sad, but evitable.

Cool points, Bryan.

Jocelyn, take it in baby steps and eventually, you’ll be fine. The problems come with cross browser compatibility.

I hated learning CSS layout, but it seems that everybody is in fact using them now. My DIVs wrap poorly in IE 6.0, but you just have to play with it.

@Yelmyl Mohammid – yes, I have had CSS problems in IE 6.0 as well. I know, that not all the browsers play nicely, but in this case, patience is a virtual. Like any programming language, CSS layout takes patience, lots of it, especially when you are caught in the middle of the browser wars. Thanks for your input.

Cool article, bruce. I heard you reading others’ web sites, which is cool, since I hate reading stuff on the web. Ironic huh? Anyway, we need to learn tableless CSS no matter how much of a pain it is.
