As I try to get better in my html and php skills, (and although I failed to apply the knowledge I gain from the trip o­n all my work), I do observe the new trends that makes the net what it is today.

Lately and it might be a Firefox consequence, the big new trend is the coding standards of the W3C... wich is of course, a big plus. But there is some bias opinions about the style we should apply and what html tags must be in use.

I felt the urge to answer to what I can compare as an Anti-Mac or Anti-PC attitude, the anti-TABLE attitude.

The table tag was introduce in html 3 (as far as I could dig) and was overused in the past and still is today as a design "fix" if I can say it that way.

Today, we must send back the table tag to its real purpose : Showing tabular data.

It is true that the div is the way to go... for design. But considering the table tag as the devil is a big misconception of html. So when you have someone trying to sell the idea to remove all table tags from your html, don't forget that he might be right for your design... but not necessarily for the content you are showing.

For my own crazy untrue "I have nothing to do when I'm at work" gig, I build a little simple mod showing some links to examples of css design I found really nice and simple. And you will probably have a good guess if you think the first example is... a table.

So click here NOW... I SAID NOW !!!!!
