And that's actually the problem... "Professional" designers probably learned from school, school teachers learned from books, during those times all the books says tables are the way to go.cronic5 said:Even in webmastering classes tables are taught and told to be used for your layout. I know professional designers who use tabels for layouts WAY before CSS.
CSS isn't new but its implementation and popularity wasn't on until recently (atleast 5 years ago). Most schools still teach the old table style and I do not know why they just won't teach the new stuff. My thoughts are probably because teachers are just relying on their old books or they're just lazy to learn/teach the new stuff because it's rather more complicated than tables. Or... they're probably not surfing the internet a lot like most "newbie" designers do where they can find CSS tutorials all over the net these days. Bottom line: most schools doesn't teach the "better" thing atleast at this point in time.
And yes, I actually see skilled designers using tables, they're "skilled" meaning they can draw real high end graphics but cannot code properly, they still rely on WYSIWYG/slicing/tables which is probably what they learned from school. Tables is not a bad idea, but niether is it good. It's probably a matter of preference wether to use either, but what is recommended at this day and age is now CSS.
