Using tables in HTML for page layout became common simply because there was
no other reasonable way to control layout of the page in the early days but
in practice those that continue to use tables for non-tabular page layout
are no different than the morons that continue to use Excel as a database.
If you understand and accept that you know why you should learn and adopt
the use of CSS which enables HTML elements on the page to become
semantically correct enabling the developer to maintain complete control of
the entire page and all of its HTML elements.
Because ASP.NET controls continue to generate tables does not mean the
controls were developed well. Hence the release of the CSS Friendly Control
Adapters which really aren't so friendly but they do help an awful lot and
the couple that developed them independently should be given a freakin'
medal.
