Hell Yeah Bitch! .com: CSS vs Tables

  • danielcole · 5 years ago
    Yeah, I've got no problems with using a table here and there to make things line up properly, like in a one-line message header having the title left-justified and the date right-justified. I've tried to get the CSS to behave, but no positioning tricks I could do would work. And then the CSS just got bigger and more complex, so then a table (1) Smaller code-wise (2) Code so much easier for a human to read and edit later, if need be. In other news, I've abandoned plog and I'm trying geeklog. I hate the current color scheme, and I need to do quite a bit of CSS tweeking, but so far so good. It allows for people (loged in or not) to leave comments, and submit whole blog-messages (display after admin approval for anonymous people), which is exactly what I was looking for. Register an account, and tell me what you think - I'll give you access to a couple admin-level things.

    Also, what the hell good is going thru all the trouble of making a CSS2 (or even CSS1 for that matter) website when Internet Explorer, the most commonly used browser in the world, isn't 100% Compliant? Forgetting CSS, can you imagine how the online world would look if IE would just provide support for PNGs with transparency like Gecko browsers do?

    Oh wow. You just commented my thoughts exactly.

    I've been making sites at work all day, and fighting IE along the way.

    (I had more here, but I just decided to just make this long comment into another post, becuase I got lazy and didn't write anything yesterday.)
