It's obvious sensationalist crap, but when you get inside it it's really bad. Especially for those relatively novice CSS coders who would get excited by the title. The whole spiel about tables layout and CSS3, which seams to be one of the crucial exposés, is not only banal and inanely simplistic, but crucially misleading in that it throws out of the window all the current practice which has painstakingly covered bases for all browser deficiencies, and instead tells us to create a bizarre piece of work, from the conceptual design right to the code implementation, that behaves monstrously in the standard user's browser, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Keep up the bitching! ;) You’re right. It’s obvious sensationalist crap, but when you get inside it it’s really bad.

"Crafting CSS layouts is tricky. In this article, Kevin Yank introduces CSS tables (which, once IE 8 is released, will be supported by all major browsers). They promise to make CSS layouts much easier for everyone. " Once youv'e built a few layouts in CSS, its easy as pie. You could do it with your eyes closed (well basic layouts), its not tricky, just time consuming and requiring a bit of paitence. Basically, he's telling us to use display: table; all the time? "Everything you think you know about CSS and then decided to write a book about your guru-like skills" is wrong!!!! Im beggining to wonder whether Kevin Yank has ever built a CSS layout….
