I still don't feel that it would be appropriate to use css
positioning on all our web pages, since we have such a wide variety
of audience, but I do keep reviewing it, particularly because I give
a course in which I talk about it (tomorrow, which is perhaps why I'm
focussed!). Across the board, I am finding it difficult to pinpoint
why css positioning is necessarily *always* better than thoughtful
use of tables, and how to give an indication of when page authors
might be best to use tables.
What bothers me, from both the view of providing templates for use
*and* telling people how to start using the technique, is that there
are so many hacks that seem to be required to make the pages work.
Also, getting the sensible threading of the content to work properly
when css positioning is used isn't necessarily easy.
Do I have a point or am I just being an old stick in the mud?
