Stay tuned for this weeks post about the ins and outs of the humble table. I’m hoping that it’ll be a useful resource for people who’d like to be able to copy and paste some basic tables together.

If you're displaying tabular data, why not use tables? That's what they were originally created for. I love CSS as much as anyone and will use it whenever I can, but I do realize that such things as this are meant for tables and it is sementically correct to use tables. With that said, me getting into web design when I did, I never started out using tables for layout. I started using CSS and tableless layouts for my designs. So, although I can put a table together for some data, I have a somewhat difficult time understanding the code behind them. In all honesty though, I really don't spend time trying to learn, so that's probably the biggest part of it. I've only had to use a table once thus far in my design career and I just copied and pasted and filled in the blanks then, so that's probably what I'll do if I need another.
