Seriously though.
  • Less Code
  • Cleaner Code
  • Separation of design from content
  • Tables are designed for TABULAR DATA, not the structure of a website layout
  • Easier to modify layout / structure site wide by simply editing a few lines of the CSS file
  • CSS' ability is much greater. Positioning, characteristics, and style structure is beyond what is possible with tables.

Lastly. If you're still using tables, you're behind the times. It just goes to show you do not know how to keep up with the trends and direction web technology is moving to. Honestly I could care less what anyone does. But it's only going to hurt yourself by sticking to archaic ways. Let alone if that line of thinking seeps into more of your business than just the code of your websites.
