My Web pages use tables for layout,
and each of my Web pages is exactly
800 pixels wide. It's simple. Dirt
simple.
Using tables lets me put things on the
page just where the heck I want them.
I don't know of any easier way with
HTML or CSS, and I'm not going to write
any JavaScript -- won't do that. Having
all my pages just 800 pixels wide is just
what I want for my view of a good
UI/UX for my Web site. And the Web pages
should look okay on everything with a
Web browser right up to date as of, say,
five years ago. So, I'm not going to
test my pages on several versions of
each of several Web browsers on each of
several devices and, with such simple
Web pages likely don't have to. And I
have no pop ups, pull downs, roll overs,
or anything else that has the screen
change just do to mouse movements or
anything else except deliberate user
actions.
That's the way I want the pages to be
at least for now.
