Re: Is this Ridiculous? Or not?--HTML Tables

I hired a designer to do a webpage and the code that they sent me back

Any opinions? Should I do these tables in CSS or keep them in XHTML?
Below is a sample of the code:

If you like using CSS then by all means....

The real problem with such an HTML table is that it has been generated
by a program. If a human being 1. types, 2. copies, and 3. pastes to
get a table layout it doesn't look _nearly_ that bad. The indentation
done by such programs to identify nesting actually makes thing worse.

I have been working on a utility to clean up such nonsense and also
the nonsense generated by "save as HTML" in some word processing
programs, but the example you posted is not cleaning up at all.
Back to the drawing board.
