Why I will use CSS Instead of Table?

My CSS concept is very poor.

Can any one tell me why I will use CSS to placing an obejct (Images or others) insteat of Tables. I have seen some pages where designer has used only CSS to placing objects without any table.

What are the benefits?????

 

To increase the speed, to ensure multiple browser compatibility, to follow the curret web standards.

 

And it will transform your source code more SE friendly, and in many cases it boost the rankings as well by improving visible text / code size ratio.

 

Thanks for quick reply

Have any options to create multiple column like table using CSS?

 

Alot. For one, you'll be keeping the design part and the working part of your code separate.

Also, I find it very simple compared to tables. I mean you know (atleast I do), where to find what instead of checking out tables, which are also cluttered with working code .

 

Of course there are opportunities. Place two indepentend divs with content into the code, give them different id. All you have to do is to positioning those divs for instance like this {position:absolute;left:20px;top:200px;}.

 

Search engine purposes, and lighter compared to the tabled sites.

 

Thanks to all for your kind cooperation.

I have get littlebit idea on CSS and need to study more regarding this

Thanks again

 

You don't use tables. You use divs.

<div id="container">
<div id="div1left"></div>
<div id="div2right"></div>
</div>

Of course, in CSS you define all those id's.

Play around with it.
