Democracy Now is on 5 times, once on each M, T, W, Th and F. It doesn't span those days. Besides, it's very easy for my eye to choose Wednesday, then follow the column down where it meets 11:00 am to see what's on. In the first example, it takes me a couple of seconds to interpret what intersects what. But the client gets what the client wants. Also, I'm very happy to see people on my side concerning the "table tags for tables" argument. I recently had this argument with a developer with whom I was working on a site. Every table on the site is made up of an extremely complicated set of divs, with multiple classes to make them act like a table. I told him he should just use a table for that. His response? "There is nothing preventing me from semantically re-labeling the div's (row, column, and cell elements) as e.g. ul's or dl's, to provide baseline accessibility. ... A table is really nothing more than a list of lists." He insisted that "tables themselves are notoriously inaccessible." He used divs for damn near everything and labeled every damn tag with a new class. (Take a look at [url=http://www.bigwaste.com/asylum/nested_divs.png]how nested his divs are[/url] using Firefox's View Rendered Source Chart.) H1's got classes like "Blurb_h1." He also refused to let me use IDs for unique elements, insisting that a class would do the same thing. His style sheet is horrendous; nothing cascades. It's just a list of unique classes for every element: .ClassThis { ... } .ClassThat { ... } .ClassThatForThis { ... } .ClassSomethingElse_1 { ... } .ClassSomethingElse_2 { ... } Plus, when he modularized the site, he created not only a separate sheet for every module (banners, each table, side boxes, navigation, etc.), but SEVERAL different sheets for every module. He couldn't understand how it made more sense to have at least the majority of the styles in one place. It was impossible to maintain. I finally had to step away from the project.
