The Breakdown of Modern Web Design

lol, so true ... except, CSS can really be used instead of tables. Just make DIV tags with "display:block;position:absolute" style, and place them whereever you want ("z-index: (number)" is for overlaying). It's pretty easy, actually. And works in IE (if you use "position:absolute" instead of "position:fixed").

IE has a cool feature called "download behaviors" that is similar to AJAX. I used it alot before AJAX was known. And AJAX is simply JavaScript with XMLHttpRequest. There are some quirks associated with XMLHttpRequest, but there's common code to work around them.

 

yes CSS should absolutely be used in place of any tables
I try not to use IE :p
