The Death of IE6 – A Great Moment for Web Design
by Mike McKeown
Internet Explorer 6 is dying, and that is great news for web designers. IE6 is one of the greatest hindrances in modern web design. First, it does not properly support important elements of CSS, which means extra work for designers. IE6 can render beautifully crafted validated code in a very ugly manner.
Table vs. Tableless Design
By Mike McKeown
Anyone making even the slightest attempt to follow the world of web design has seen the debate over table versus tableless design. It seems the large majority of web designers are in favor of tableless design using XHTML and CSS, although some coders still prefer tabled design.
There are several advantages to using tableless design:
- W3C Standards favor the use of tableless design, and they set the standards for the entire web design and development community.
- Almost all web browsers today support CSS based designs, so compatibility is no longer an issue.If the coding is properly done, modifications to the design become easier.
- It is easier to make websites accessible to those with handicaps or text-based browsers using tableless design.
- Less code is used on the webpage, which search engines like. Search engines prefer a high content to code ratio, meaning the more text there is relative to the amount of code, the better.
- Better search engine ranking.
