Yahoo! and MSN using CSS
I noticed yesterday that Yahoo! and MSN are now using CSS / <div> layouts vs tables.
I checked this about 6 months ago and they were still using tables at that time....wonder when they made the switch?

I'm assuming you mean that the tables are being used for layout - not for tabular data (which you should use tables for!):shiznatix wrote:somebody post a 'these are the major reasons to use css instead of tables'. no, my website won't be used on a pda or a cell phone.
