Information

According to w3c.org we should all be laying out our pages this way. Tables are a thing of the past and should be used only for tabular information.
I carried out an exercise a while back, converting phpBB from it's famous tabular format to just divs. It can be done, but it's not easy.

This is the problem at the moment, all we have is div (floating, relative, absolute and fixed) and they don't perform in the way we would like. Look at all the attempts to create the perfect header/three column/footer layout with the columns all the same size. Simple...you would have thought so, a piece of cake for tables, so why not for divs.

Perhaps we are looking at layouts to copy tables, when we should be looking at layouts to do things that tables can't do.

Perhaps we should be getting away from three columns (they all look the same anyway) and should be looking for something more exciting.....and that is what this section is about. I hope to find layouts that are a bit more adventurous. 'Hope' being the right word as I haven't started looking yet but will see what I can find OR come up with myself.
