There are doubt about coding in XHTML or HTML, or to be more precise, some people says, table or table-less.
I, myself didn’t use table to code website for quite sometimes now, although there’s still one website that running under table coding structure
I was lazy to re-code everything again, it’s taking too much time, that is a BIG ass web. Anyway, recently I saw one of my friend who is actually a graphic designer turned web design, having a hard time learning all the HTML and CSS code. That makes me started to think about table and table-less coding structure.
1, When coding with table, I got less buggy in IE browsers. Because table is fixed and it just won’t squeeze down the sidebar nor the content box
Which is good thing anyway. I’ll get 100% viewable to all kinda browsers and visitors. When I code table-less, I gotta fix IE6 and 7, which is taking lots of time and not to mention, headache! IE is the most unstable coding browsers in my list
2, Myth about table loading. I mean, come on, use the brain and think again, even if it’s really slow down the loading speed, how much slow could it be? 0.0001 second? Loading speed always depending on your connection too. Instead, I doubt a full list of CSS would load faster.
3, Search engine don’t like table? Erm… I would like to re-phrase, search engines LOVE content instead of how you code it. Who cares what kinda code you’re using, as long as the content and design is there and visitors are reading it, it’s the best website ever!
Next time, when I’m working on another web project and coded it in HTML, I would get make custom rubber stamps design stating it’s table coded all over the web
