Pardon my ignorance, as I am trying to figure out when to use CSS vs. tables, but there is a site that I really like the layout of and I was wondering if someone could tell me if this was done with CSS or tables. The site is

No table layout here - site is built by css styling divs and other elements.

I sure would like to get a peak at their style sheet.

I am trying to figure out when to use CSS vs. tablesThere is little to figure out though there are gray areas sometimes. If you are using a table to create a web page then the answer is definitely no. If you are trying to present a row/column of data and not images or content, such as stories or articles, then the answer is yes.

I find that the simplest way to work out if you should use a table or not is to ask yourself the following questions.

Does it have anything to go in the thead?

Does it have anything to go in the caption?

Will it look okay with borders around all the cells?

If the answer to at least 2 of these 3 questions is yes then it is a table.
