YES!! This is a pet peeve of mine (but then, what isn't? ;) ). I've even
been meaning to write up a little article about it. For styling, CSS is,
umm, acceptable. But it's crap for layout. And every argument I've seen
against using tables for layout has been either extremely minor,
questionable/uncited, or just plain bullcrap.
Speaking of, if anyone has links to well-regarded "why you shouldn't use
tables for layout" information, please post them. Whenever I get around to
doing that little write-up I'd like to try to refute as much as I can. Or be
proven wrong before making a bigger ass of myself. Either way :)
