I read the html goodies’s guide for making rounded corners for tables. I knew how to create the graphics, but I still am puzzled at how to insert it into the table. Someone help? ?
Table layouts are a starting point for every designer... I would have think that everyone should start out designing their first couple sites with tables... Mainly because there are so many other things you need to learn and pick up before you can move on to using CSS. I've been doing this for years and I still fall back on doing table layouts when time is an issue. Frankly with tweaking the margins and positions I could have done 3 other layouts easy with using a table method.
So with a user name like "jackz15", I might think that this person is still learning and we should do everything in our power and ablity to help him/her out. Sure mention hey don't do tables but if you must, here is how you do it.

I agree with Pete that people shouldn't be penalized for using tables, even if they are "only for tabular data". Most of the folks here are purists when it comes to design...sometimes the people asking the questions just want a page that works and aren't interested in following the true path to perfection...which is why I hate seeing a noob write in and ask how to fix a simple problem only to be told "Validate your code and then come back and ask"...that's a BS answer.
I agree with Fuzzy that we should design per specs when we can; that's why there are specs. I used to love tables, but now that I have been learning CSS I have absolutely no use for tables...in fact, I think Fuzz helped me along and took part in my brainwashing. ?
