HTML does not force you to mix style with structure though. My point is browser support of xhtml is not all that wonderful. It is as accessible as html at best, but can never be better.

I never said HTML forces you to mix style and structure so that has no relevance what-so-ever.  It may not force you but it certainly encourages you too mix the two.

There's no need for you to have a point.  I stated a simple fact and you turned it into an argument by telling me something I agree with.  Meanwhile, I'm here trying to explain to you that your argument has nothing to do with what I said.

Is it <i> bad </i> to style tables? Check the source on my page, www.dark-wire.net/sh/newd.html  That's all I know how to do webcoding...Is it worth getting into the new stufF?

Your website should work on all platforms, period.

Here is where we fundamentally disagree, and if on the fundamentals we stay in disagreement, our philosophies on web development will stay opposed.

I believe I should engineer my sites and write my code to internet standards, as strict as possible.  This actually increases site portability and usability.  Web pages are not screens, and should not be treated as such.  CSS differentiates device types, which is why it is separate from document content and structure.

How are we disagreeing?

They're more accessible than most HTML 4.01 pages.

You quoted me originally saying that xhtml pages are more accessible than most html pages. Document style with css has nothing to do with it. Xhtml is pointless to use right now as it is not more accessible then html. That is what I have been trying to communicate in my posts.

It is bad to use tables in general for layout purposes. I have nothign against the use of a style sheet with a table... I have something against markup that is not semantically correct. The table is perfectly fine when it is used for what it was originally intended for... tabular data.
