Not everyone cares about that stuff, and people like to stick to what they know. But if you ever wanted to get a job with a professional web design firm or something of the like (which I'm guessing you don't), you'd be laughed out of the room with table-based layouts. It's like choosing the long way when the shortcut is right in front of you. You're right, I don't want a job with a professional firm. I'm a real programmer, not an artist masquerading as a programmer. rand0mguy Posted at 3:31 pm on Jan. 9, 2008 Learn CSS!!!

There's only one benefit of CSS over Tables that isn't either false (the caching thing), or surmountable by server side scripting, and that's the readability for the blind user. Which to be honest, I don't give a shit about. I also don't see the point in differentiating between different types of visually identical formatting, or using a 5 byte tag to do the same thing a 1 byte tag would. PiXiE Posted at 11:14 am on Jan. 9, 2008 No, it isn't elitism. This explains it better than I ever could. allsmiles Posted at 7:48 am on Jan. 9, 2008 Quote: from PiXiE at 3:08 pm on Jan. 9, 2008 Quote: from allsmiles at 3:04 am on Jan. 9, 2008 Quote: from rand0mguy at 3:22 am on Jan. 9, 2008 um i have an idea.... LEARN CSS.. tables should only be used to display tabular data    Bitch bitch whine whine tables are valid coding also Tables may validate but it is not proper usage. Once you get the hang of CSS you realize how much easier it is than messing around with tables. I know CSS, I just find tables to be more logical. So long as it validates, everything about CSS over tables is pure elitism.

Hmm maybe its just not FireFox compatible?  Lol I feel so stupid i wasted at least 20-25 minutes rereading the code like 100 times lol =P RossTheHoss69 Posted at 4:16 pm on Jan. 8, 2008 Quote: from The Dalai Lama at 6:15 pm on Jan. 8, 2008 You forgot the closing </table> for the START UPDATES section.   And you forgot the <table> for the last two sections as well. EDIT: nvm. teeny Posted at 4:16 pm on Jan. 8, 2008 i just put it on practice board, just like it is, and it worked fine. http://www.practiceboard.com/?7747701 which means your html is messed up somewhere else. RossTheHoss69 Posted at 4:15 pm on Jan. 8, 2008 It could just be the wrong path to the image. Make sure the image is correctly named, and if that doesn't work, then take the image you want, and upload it to photobucket.
