On the verge of release, Internet Explorer 8 brings standards-compliant support for CSS tables to the last of the four major browsers. That means it’s time to learn a whole new approach to CSS layout, where all the hacks and mental gymnastics of the past are now a distant memory.
At least, that’s what SitePoint Technical Director Kevin Yank says in his recent book, Everything You Know About CSS Is Wrong. Come along and see what all the fuss is about! Are tables really the layout tool of the future? Find out why Kevin believes they’re actually ready for prime time today, and tell him if you agree.
Sponsors
