You know you're doing something right when you get this email from a coworker.

Hi Tyler,

Thank you for the lesson. I've been reading about this method this weekend. I'll never use tables (for layout) again. Wow, this is SO much better. Thank you.

I got that after giving a CSS lesson to a coworker.

I've read a dozen CSS tutorials and I still prefer tables for layout. Mainly because the tricks for cross-browser compatibility are easier. I only use style sheets for text formatting. I guess I'm not l33t.

Had you not mentioned the CSS, I might have thought the lesson was in something else.

I haven't used tables for years.

I'm no pro-designer but I still like tables for some stuff - plus they behave more consistently. Sometimes going all out with CSS and everything just seems like overkill.

Tables > CSS

Tables are for tabular data, who would have thought? I absolutely adore the flexibilty of CSS, and the fact that you have so much less code, since a single stylesheet is included once, rather than the same table code over and over.
