CSS/XHTML

[Duality]

I prefer to use CSS/XHTML due to the fact that the design I'm carrying out is so much easier to control and handle than with tables. How about you guys?

I use CSS/Html - Tables are fine i haven't looked at any Xhtml code though.

Would be interesting to find out how easy it is to code differently to what i do now.

I don't mind tables too much but I would much rather use divs.

Truly there is more flexibility in using CSS/XHTML.

Tables are so.... 1998 to me.

Tables are so.... 1998 to me.Agreed. Especially if you use a table border. Those things just look plain ugly.

Would be interesting to find out how easy it is to code differently to what i do now.Hmm, XHTML is basically just HTML but with some more strict standards. I found that there were only a few little things to change in my coding for it to be valid XHTML strict.

I use CSS/XHTML no tables for layout. Much more flexible and no tables combined with using separate style sheets has saved me many GB of bandwidth for some larger sites.

That's another thing. Tables and HTML are a thing of the past. CSS/XHTML are the future.

Yeah, you can really see the power CSS/XHTML gives artists over tables and other older layout methods in sites like csszengarden and countless others.

I changed all the tables on ,y arcade website to Div's and it looks alot better than the original layout. Comparison:

Original Layout (http://www.phparcadescript.com/demo)
New Layout (http://www.zigarcade.com)

Yeah, your layout is definitely better. That original layout is just painful!

[Duality]

I know. The CSS he used was bad too. I had to edit it, or else no none would visit my website.

There does seem to be some wasted space on your design though. You might want to make the layout of the main section more like the original.

I think the whole tables are now useless is complete crap. You use them when you require them. CSS is cool but its not always the perfect thing for the job. I know quite a few big web devs that use a mixture of both.

I love xhtml/css, it earns me money :)

But on a serious note it allows you to update your design without affecting search engines (they don't have to index your content again) as if you coded without CSS you would have to change your HTML to update your design.

i like tables :p (and css+xhtml)

The reason for it is that it lets me do designs that you can't do with just CSS, and those that can be done with css, can be done 1000 times faster.

Also, it's almost never that i had to change the design of one of my sites, it was alwais someone elses site (and the have tables :p)

CSS = Instant win.

CSS is great I agree, but I cant really choose as Ive never really used either properly.. well, CSS maybe but i done know about xhtml

[Qnote]

I use it basically because I want to do what is standard. Its no big deal anyway. I also heard that you should use the standards because it will help the google bot in crawling the site.
