CSS is for styling not for layout

January 2nd, 2007

I know there are many people who will laugh or take the piss out of me here but im old and stuck in my ways. I am now convinced that I really do not like CSS for layout in pages, dont get me wrong I use it all the time for styling the text and the links and even for background images etc but as a replacement for tables in laying out a page CSS blows in my opinion.

Everytime I use it i find myself lost in a pointless battle between negative divs and IE compatability, well sorry sod it I am gonna keep using tables for layout until the compromises go away…

About SEOidiot

Hi my name is Paul Madden and I am a UK SEO based in Lancashire, for years I have been cursed by the nickname SEOidiot which started life as a form of abuse from someone but you need to decide for yourself how accurate the term is.

Quotes about me

"Don't really know the details about what kind of tongue-in-cheek fate ever hit Paul with the daft "SEOidiot" tag, but make no mistake: here's one of the most experienced and best renowned old hands in SEO the UK can boast today. If you're a business trying to make money on the Internet, there's hardly a better choice you could make than to get him on your side! And he's funny, too - vide his cartoons which I for my part have always enjoyed."
