Talk:Tableless web design

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I've tidied up this article and expanded it a bit. One thing that I thought about including but wasn't entirely sure about was the advantage of tableless web design as far as Search Engine Optimization is concerned. I gather that having a table-less design that is valid (X)HTML does have a beneficial effect on search engine rankings though I'm not 100% sure about this. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable than me about this aspect of SEO could add some appropriate blurb if it is relevant? Jammycakes 22:19, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

I would also suggest renaming this page to Tableless Web Design Jammycakes 10:09, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Really this is just one element of semantic HTML, which in turn is a part of standards-based web authoring. See talk:Tag_soup#Citations and NeologismMichael Z. 2006-10-16 05:59 Z

[edit] css cacheing advantages?

The CSS file can also be cached by the browser and so does not need to be re-loaded with every page visit, thereby providing further savings in bandwidth.

Aren't images and HTML also cached? How is this an advantage of tableless web design? I'm not sure I understand what the author is getting at here.

I've reworded it a bit to make it clearer. Jammycakes 07:00, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] why I deleted all the external links

I removed three external links (that was all the external links) because they seemed to be ads -- especially the last two.

Does Wikipedia have a rule that no .com sites are permitted in External Links? I've seen people delete links for that reason alone.

You didn't pay much attention to their content, did you? The last was completely non-commercial, a cc-licensed slide show. You also deleted categories and interwiki links. Wake up. Michael Z. 2006-11-07 13:34 Z
