TableLess

Littering a dark and dreary road lay the past relics of browser-specific tags, incompatible DOMs, and broken CSS support.

Today, we must clear the mind of past practices. Web enlightenment has been achieved thanks to the tireless efforts of folk like the W3C, WaSP and the major browser creators.

The css Zen Garden invites you to relax and meditate on the important lessons of the masters. Begin to see with clarity. Learn to use the (yet to be) time-honored techniques in new and invigorating fashion. Become one with the web.

TableLess is more then just doing layouts without using tables. It is doing it an accessible layout, respecting W3C orientations, using tags for what they were made for.

On the TableLess method you use the html (XHTML is highly recommended) for specifying content, and CSS for formatting content. It makes content and presentation independent from each other.
