[Yr7-10it] Do we really need CSS?

[Costello, Rob R]

i think the question is do you use tables or CSS to position page layout 

css is here to stay for other formatting things : but laying out content in css divs is still dependent on which browser you use; as the article says there are still quirks and work arounds 

purist web designers might disagree, but tables still seem more robust for basic layout   

cheers

How else do you format your webpage without CSS? We used Dreamweaver and
from memory the standard formats don't offer much?
