Ain;t it amazing how the internet evolved over the years?
At first, everyone used tables for anything and everything.
Then they learned about CSS and applied it.
Then they learned how to manipulate the displayed page using server side
scripting such as PHP.
And upwards to sql and tables.
Then, PTB want to upgrade the system but are reluctant to do so because the
old system is till widely used, and abused.
Hell, if that theory held true, we'd still be using tables.
So why don't they just make the change, be done with it and let the people
have the option of using either.
Let's face it, html has deprecated a ton of things which are still in use.
Why? because a hoard of people refuse to upgrade their systems.
