I didn't think it was debatable until...


I thought that the CSS preference was clear to most designers, but I had to pause and spent two days trying to support my thoughts when the web design company who is doing the coding gave me a layout in tables. I didn't (and still don't) understand why a design company would try to code a dynamic, several hundred page website using tables.

That's beyond me, too... somebody's stuck in 1997.

If you're hiring someone to code a page for you in 2008, it needs to be done with valid html/css. They're called standards for a reason.

This might be a stupid question but are their any tools for converting tables to CSS?
