Tableless Web Design
Table less web design is a method of web design and development without using HTML tables for page layout control purposes. Instead of HTML tables, style sheet languages such as CSS are used to arrange elements and text on a web page.

Why should you follow this standard?
  • The current W3C standards dictate the use of tableless design.

  • Practically all browsers in use today support CSS for controlling layouts. As such, your site will be compatible with any browser.

  • It is easier to make global changes to the layout with the use of CSS; of course, the coding must be done properly.

  • Web site accessibility for the people with customized needs is done more easily with the proper implementation of content into XHTML documents. In this case, CSS is used only for the layout and style.

  • Unnecessary code is eliminated with the use of XHTML and CSS, making for a sleeker and more manageable code.

  • Table less formats make it easier for search engines to index a web site.
