Since this has been a topic of dicussion, I figured I would add my thoughts. I have been toying with the idea of doing a <table>-less layouts involving tabular data, calendars, etc... Recent threads have finally made me do it. Let me know what you think. http://www.cmsws.com/examples/templates/div_tables.php http://www.cmsws.com/examples/templates/div_tables.phps (source for above) http://www.cmsws.com/examples/templates/div_cal.php When you turn off the styles, the calendar becomes pretty rough on the eyes, but still "accessible". Same thing with the tabular data structure. But, not knowing how the various types of accessibility applications work, I am guessing that the layout to an application trying to read it should work fairly well. Let me know if I am way off the mark with my thoughts. If you want to respond off list, that if fine by me. TIA Table-less html is a silly idea. Semantic html where tables represent tables makes sense instead. A calendar IS a table, semantically speaking, so emulating it with css-p is useless torture.
