RE: more CSS and tables

I also agree,

this lays it out the way it is, and it is why people still use tables and it
is why I use them...I wish the CSS issues were not there...it is such a
terrific idea, and so hard to get right when laying out pages.

I would add that a good "visual" editor is going to be necessary for some of
us! I cannot translate hard code into the way things lay out on a page, not
from the code to the page.  I have to have some kind of way to figure where
the elements are going to me.  That may just be me, but it is what I need, I
suspect others will as well.

Sincerely,

Mike Burks

Joe and I agree 100% on this issue, I think. I agree with everything he
wrote here.
