What is ERDivaLook?

Much like ExcelLook, that vends excel pages, Diva look generates a Web 2.0 interface for DirectToWeb.
More specifically, it generates pages that are:

• Semantically-rich or tables-less
• XHTML 1.0 strict compliant
• Sans images, inline styles or presentation attributes
• Require a CSS theme

Why Table-less Markup?

Scriptaculous, jQuery effects, etc work by manipulating CSS attributes.
Mostly they don't work very well on tables, if at all.
Furthermore, the more sophisticated widgets (like accordions) make use of effects and so don't function as they should without.

This is even more true for unobtrusive javascript for which table-less markup is usually a prerequisite.
Like jQuery, which takes this a step further, by applying functionality via CSS selectors.
(So for jQuery it is an absolute requirement).

Therefore, if you are developing a Web 2.0/Ajax UI, the transition to table-less markup is an imperative.
