Yep, nothing wrong with using tables to show column data -- that's what tables are for.

that's my point - columns have nothing to do with the data structure, it's
a presentation issue - technically it's a list of products. ergo: UL iso TABLE.
personally I think the only 2 really strong reason for using a table to display
stuff are:

1. a datagrid type of control for doing CRUD stuff.
2. HTML email newsletter (evil in their own right :-), but if a client demands 
it
TABLEs are often the only way to reliably control layout :-( ).

but tedd there is no need to go defending Jay. I was merely chatting with him 
on a
theoretical level, not telling nwhat he should/must be doing (because a, he's 
been
doing this stuff longer than I have been alive ;-) and b, I know that he knows
the difference between doing it 'right' and doing it on time and within budget 
:-)

'right' being in quotes because that's more often than not just another form of
opinion. :-)
