I heard a lot about the evil of tabe/font based html code, but I have no luck to see it. It seems nowadays, all the websites are using div/css to layout their page.
Could you provide an exmaple of evil table/font based html code. It better be a real-world example.
Sure, take a look at the source code of Google. Its tables and font tags galore. Obviously their intentions lie in the area of efficiency as opposed to semantics. I wouldn't call it evil...
If you’ve received any slickly-designed HTML e-mails, they’re likely to be an unmaintainable mess of <table> and <font> tags under the hood. (Having written and maintained a couple, I speak from bitter experience.)
Lots of nonprofit sites are like this. Here's one I designed a few years ago (but did not develop) and it makes almost exclusive use of tables for the entire site.
