I'm getting ready to design a site and in one of the many books I just read I think it was mentioned that tables would become obsolete at some point in the future. I know that CSS is not available in older browsers.
At this time, is it recommended to use CSS or tables for the layout? Thanks - Yancey |

Tables aren't becoming obsolete - they will always serve their purpose for tabulated data. They were never meant to be used for layouts, that's all.
I recommend you use CSS, and as for it not being available on older browsers, so long as the page structurally makes sense without CSS, you'll be fine. http://www.glish.com/css/ is a great place to start. |

Just the info I needed. Thanks, I had to tear myself away from the link to come back and thank you.
I understand your comment on tabulated data. I appreciate the clarification. Yancey |
