And there is also CSS that can make an HTML element act just like a table reducing HTML. display

<style> .side { width:150px; display: table-cell; } .content { display: table-cell; width: 90%; } .wrap { display: table; width: 100%; } </style> <div class="wrap"> <div class="side">Left Side</div> <div class="content">Content</div> <div class="side">Right Side</div> </div>

    That's very "semantic" indeed!

    Why would we use the tags designed for tables when we can redefine some other tags to act as those tags? We heard somewhere that we are not supposed to use HTML tables, we ignored or did not understand the conditions under which we are not supposed to use them so now we bend backwards to replicate them by other means.

    reducing HTML

    Hehe, <div> is always more characters than <td></td>, there is no reduction of html by using divs for tables
