My one of web designer
friend still making sites with table but he use css very nicely and I also use css nicely but with <div> and i face cross browser problem in layout more than my
friend.
and i given some reason to my
friend about cons of <table>. read my whole discussion with friend?
I - you site will be problematic with screen reader
My
friend - OK, but i never got any call from any client regarding this.
I - you will devote more time to make any changes in layout, if changes comes from client
My
friend - I don't think so, but if it is then show me how can i save time with <div>?
I - your sites will not work well with search engine.
My
friend - it's not true. I've made many site and no problem with any site or client regarding this
I - layout is old way, non w3c and non standard way.
My
friend - what is old and what is new, Who is W3C i don't know, What is standard? Whatever i make works in all browsers, it's enough for me and my client will not pay for standard and W3C guidelines rules
I - Your site will not work in mobile browsers
My
friend - No problem for me, my client don't care about mobile phone
I - Your sites are not accessible?
My
Friend - What do u mean not accessible? Whatever i make works in all browsers. my any client never asked about accessibility
I - You will not get more work in future, with table?
My
friend - OK, no problem when clients will not accept site with table then i will learn about div based layouts in future.
My questions?
Is it still true, to make cross
browser layouts for desktop browsers
using table+css is easier then
div+css?
What is the benefit for developer to
use DIV+CSS layout in place of
<table> layouts if client would not
mind if i use ?
