short answer

Tables have been used in the past to control layout of a Web page. Discuss why you think this was a good or bad idea for our current Web development practices. Give an example of when a table is the proper tool to use on a page. How can CSS help to make a table more readable? Are there times when you should never have a table as part of a site?

For bonus points: Create two small pages, one that uses a table for layout and one that looks the same but uses CSS.
