tables vs. divs (was Re: Left column pushing...)
A couple of follow-on thoughts.
I think one of the compelling arguments against using *any* tables for layout purposes was that even when delinked from css styling, the tables would always render any columns as side-by-side content, which could be a pain when viewing the content on small-screen mobile devices, compared to the content all tumbling out in a linear fashion with css off and no tables.
Of course, if the iPhone rendering model becomes the norm, this could prove to be a largely moot point.
Also, has anyone here explored the options under "Display"? You know... Table, Table Cell, Table Row, Table Row Group, Table Column Group, etc.? It sure sounds like one could build something that is supposed to behave like a table using these attributes assigned to divs, but does it actually *work*?
Something to read up on or play with, on another day...
