[/quote] I have no idea where you're getting that idea from. Who exactly deems something as acceptable? And in what context? I thought we were talking about web standards here. [quote]Not saying we shouldn't embrace web standards or upgrade, but fretting over the use of DIVs, and their likeness to how tables are used for layouts is silly.[/quote] No, it's not silly at all. Web standards aren't just about not using <tables>s for layouts, if you think that's what it is then I fear you're missing the point. CSS is about separating display from content. An extra <div> thrown into a page to fix a display problem is defiantly in opposition to this ideal. This is what web standards are all about. CSS is just a technology, like <table>s, how you use this technology is the measure by which I would consider a website to be standards compliant.
