RE: Use of Tables

["Chris McQueen" <chrism -at- docutechcorp -dot- com>]

I've noticed that people quickly agree that CSS is the way to move away
from a table-based website.  But, the other half of the equation is the
<div> and <span> tag (and a few others, of course).  There are plenty of
resources that will tell you how they work, but in short they give you
the control you look for with tables when positioning elements.
Just a move to CSS alone, if you try to style and position a site setup
with tables and <p> tags, will not help your design or usability for
screen readers.

What is your view on using Tables to control text layout in the browser?
Is there a better alternative to using tables?
 
 
Thanks
