are tables still widely used? very interesting article, but i rarely
(if ever) use tables anymore. are these tips somehow applicable to
<div/<span's etc...?

Thanks for the share!

Yeah tables are dead. Apart from displaying data or structured information which needs to be sorted or have sort controls associated. That's pretty much the only time i use them these days!

I guess you can just use .append() on divs and get the same speed reductions. Might be worth a test just replace the table with div and see what happens.

I agree, but tables are still only solution when you need to retain
tabulation when the css style is off.

at a conference and talked about there arose html5
something about the use of tables and use them to recommend
"The tables are for tabular data and nothing else"
