Tables Are Your Friends

I never said tables were the best. I said they have their uses and their place. And when i use tables ... i use 1 ... maybe 2 to make a whole website. And being w3c compliant is one thing ... having a customer who doesn't know, nor care about your carefully crafted code enough to keep it compliant .. entirely another.

Tables have their place, but I prefer DIV based layouts. Trying to look through code with nested-nested-nested-nested-nested-nested... tables is a nightmare. I try to strictly use tables to present data like in a schedule or calendar

Working with shopping carts though is a different story, sometimes trying to MAKE them work with DIV's is a complete waste of time, stick to tables, get the job done, get paid, move to the next project
