11 += Why Table-less Markup? =
12 +
13 +Scriptaculous, jQuery effects, etc work by manipulating CSS attributes.
14 +Mostly they don't work very well on tables, if at all.
15 +Furthermore, the more sophisticated widgets (like accordions) make use of effects and so don't function as they should without.
16 +
17 +This is even more true for unobtrusive javascript for which table-less markup is usually a prerequisite.
18 +Like jQuery, which takes this a step further, by applying functionality via CSS selectors.
19 +(So for jQuery it is an absolute requirement).
20 +
21 +Therefore, if you are developing a Web 2.0/Ajax UI, the transition to table-less markup is an imperative.
