[Tsheetx-developers] CSS vs Tables...

[Scott M. <sco...@gm...>]

Hey all,

In the list of work items for 2.0 was Peter had written: "TSNG uses html
tables to format the web pages. Unfortunately tables have been used to
excessive degree such that there are many nested tables. Some work has been
done to replace this table nesting. This cleanup of the html is necessary to
move to the next step of using css to do the formatting."

So, again, I'm not a CSS expert, but I have worked with it enough, and read
enough to believe the following is true: there are some things that tables
can do that CSS can not.  Specifically, CSS can not give you many equal
width columns for a tabular layout.  So, while I think that removing the
over reliance on tables is a good thing, I think the movement to shun all
tables that seems to be rampant within the CSS community, is going a bit to
far. There are several places, the simple timesheet and reports to name just
two, that I believe are going to require tables.

So, does this make sense, or am I mistaken?
