Hi Everyone,

Would it be better to make website table less? Has anyone ever developed website completely table less?

And, what's the purpose of making a site table less?

Definitely, Tableless designs are lighter, yet much spiderable by Google

Yes. CSS for creating tables are very good for designing websites with tables design.

Usually many designers uses external css format.

The use of tables was meant for "tabular data" (i.e. - a spreadsheet type format). Over the years, many web developers began using tables when in fact the use of tables was not meant for creating a whole website. However, this does not make it wrong, it works right?

On the flip-side, you have CSS (cascading style sheets - "table-less"). CSS actually gives you more control over positioning on the web page. You can do many things with CSS and you can also incorporate tables into the code if you choose to do so. I believe, and many will attest, one should use CSS to develop their site: it's cleaner, neater and easier to maintain.

A page would load faster in a tableless-design than one with tables, due to the way a browser reads or interprets the HTML/CSS for a given webpage.

There is a bit of a learning curve when using CSS, but I moved over to tableless-CSS last year and the pages render quite a bit quicker than using HTML.

yes, Use the div tag where you want to use tabel tag.

<DIV> in HTML is just as bad as "application/octet-stream" in MIME.
Both have no meaning.
