I’ve spent the last several months weaning myself away from an innate dependency on tables for my web designs. The level of understanding that I have gained in terms of using cascading style sheets almost exclusively for defining the layout of a page has surprised me. My ability to hand code valid structural markup from the ground up has also improved remarkably over a short time. I continually find myself drawn to examples of innovative CSS presentation and then, after squeezing my eyes closed really tight, attempting to figure out where I could apply such wonderfulness. So, after all of this progress and willing adoption of web standards, what am I doing today? I’m building a site using nested tables, spacer gifs, and other convoluted browser-dependent html hacks in order to preserve some semblance of design. All because the assumed target audience for this company’s products will more than likely be using some non-current flavour of America Online or Netscape as their window to the web. Sure, the design still looks good… but I feel so cheap.
