    Ssssssssh, you are not allowed to say that any more.

    Just because creating the same layout using tables is 10x quicker and will look exactly the same in every single browser is NOT a justifiable reason to use them. Standards you see, standards! CSS uses standards and your site must comply to these standards even when your site suddenly looks like dog sick next year when those standards become a different set of standards.

    I started back when there was no CSS then went through the 'everything must be pure CSS' phase before finally thinking feck it, this is making work for the sake if it. This layout i've spent 3 hours trying to get right across all browsers would take 5 seconds if i bung a 2 column table in there and the W3C validator can stick its results up its musty old academic @rse.

    I don't want my creativity to be test-driven.

      That's I've been doing although I have left a few small tables where css doesn't seem entirely reliable, as in the top tabs. Don't see that a single row is going to slow things up too much.
