I’ve noticed there are quite a few 3 column flow layouts that people use. What isn’t clear to me is, how is this better than simply using a table with 3 columns and one row? Can you tell me the pros / cons of using a flow layout for this situation vs. a table layout?
Thanks
“Tables vs. CSS” has been a debate for about a decade now. Most folks these days will acknowledge that for laying out the page, CSS is typically the better way to go most of the time. In general, CSS layouts tend to be more semantic, easier to maintain (layout is in the CSS file rather than embedded in the HTML) and can offer a better avenue for ‘responsive design’ which is the new buzzword of the day:
