Entry 1418

After seeing Mark Pilgrim's site and noticing that it's a "no-table" design, I want to make my site table-less I wonder how much of a chore it'll be.

Turns out it's a huge chore. Internet Explorer doesn't seem to be up to the task. It's funny, every time I change the design of my site, I go a little bit further into "modern" design practices (CSS instead of <font>s and spacer gifs, divs instead of tables, etc.). Every time I stop just a little beyond where Internet Explorer can make it. Mozilla's been around and largely correct in its layout for a few iterations of Internet Explorer now. Yet again, Mozilla can handle what I'm trying to do just fine, but Internet Explorer is hopeless. I think I'm going to adopt Sjoerd's view for now, "Changing ... from table cells to divs don't suddenly make them more meaningful".
