Listen you little ignorant shit. Maybe you should go pick up a book, go to school, or do some research before you go spouting off again. An education might come in handy for you. CSS isn't new, it's been around since 1996. The
technique of using tables for layout is old. Mind you this is a fucking webmaster hub, you just basically stated to the world you don't have the simplest idea of HTML standards in front of hundreds if not thousands of webmasters. We're talking the most BASIC code known to man - HTML - you don't understand. Wow.
Since you seem to have your head so far up your own ass to understand anything I'll give you a brief summary. HTML tables were created to allow the creation of uniform tabular data on web pages. It was basically the equivalent of creating an xcel spreadsheet on the web. The reason you use tables for layout is because when the web first started no one knew what the fuck they were doing, and they found it easy to instead of using the table tag as intended - to use it for layout. There wasn't much of a learning curve, and it was far easier to pick up (mind you there wasn't much of any schooling at the time for this type of stuff, people had to learn on their own).
It's the equivalent of flipping a screw driver around and using the butt of it as a hammer, because you don't know any better.
But no, you go right ahead and spout off like you know what the fuck you're talking about. You go right ahead stating you don't understand HTML. It's not like you're doing so in front of webmaster peers or anything. It's not with two clicks of a mouse you could be learning your trade, understanding it, and bettering yourself. Instead you keep up the ignorant "I'm a backwards ass dude on the interwebs and even though I don't even know HTML, I'm going to post up completely incorrect statements to webmasters".
This isn't an argument. There's no opinion. HTML is HTML, there is no interpretation, it has very specific documentation on how it works and how it's designed. It's like spelling. You can go spelling things all fucked up as much as you want, but if you tell people it's ok to spell things wrong - you're just going to look like that much more of a moron.
