Re: IE pushing table down the page

Quote:
The problem with using tables:
  • mixes presentational data in with your content.
    • This makes the file sizes of your pages unnecessarily large, as users must download this presentational data for each page they visit.
    • Bandwidth ain't free.
  • This makes redesigns of existing sites and content extremely labor intensive (and expensive).
  • It also makes it extremely hard (and expensive) to maintain visual consistency throughout a site.
  • Table-based pages are also much less accessible to users with disabilities and viewers using cell phones and PDAs to access the Web.
My table is about 5 lines - big difference.

I use SSI for the header and footer. That's 2 files for the 'entire' site, so no, not labour intensive to change

as i said, ie and safari both have bugs to do with ccs. They don't have bugs to do with tables, min height is done automatically.

Please give me a real reason not to use tables, and maybe tell me how long it takes for my site to load
