CSS Vs Tables

[David (60)]

I have read a book advocating how great designing web pages in CSS rather than tables is so great and I must admit I was rather impressed. HOWEVER the vast majority of websites I look at these days that are done in CSS look to be honest CRAP! I know its a new idea and will take time to get going and there are some exceptions to the rule http://www.espn.com is a quality site done in CSS, but there seems to be an awful lot of complex javascript there as well!

The advantages to CSS are clear and the fact that Tables were never intended to be used for design is clear. But basically I am just intersted as the what the general feeling of the group is on this subject.

A better place would be comp.infosystems.www.authoring.stylesheets. However, take a look at e.g. http://www.csszengarden.com/
