Recently I ran across some rants and raves about replacing table tags with div and span tags altogether.  I did some research and practicing with this concept and although I like the concept … a lot … in practice I find it to be much to complicated than it should be for complex/well table embedded web pages.  For simpler pages it seems pretty slick, then again for simpler web pages what’s the big deal in using a table?

I’m sure I’ll need some more practice to fully appreciate it, but for now I’m sticking with the old trusted table tag.

If you are interested in some nice links regarding this topic.
