[thelist] How important is height when using tables?

Actually, I still sometimes use a table for basic page structure, to
get around all the float bugs,  but nested tables are gone in my
layouts.

Floating is still my one gripe with CSS.  It still has way too many
bugs. A simple table is sometimes far better.

I semi-agree with your sentiment here. Floats are indeed a pain. But I bet
if I were to go over every site I've ever done, I am willing to bet 90-95+%
could have been done with CSS layout. The shell table approach is still
relevant of course. Especially if you deal with Contribute at all.

But the reality is that most site production could switch over and should.
But I think I'm preaching to the choir with you. ;)
