Making me think differently about CSS tables is Rachel's aim in Everything You Know About CSS Is Wrong! As we'll see, she does a damn fine job.

The sooner that IE8 can be adopted, the better, and these techniques can start to get a proper working out. Who knows, there may be a whole new raft of tricks that will arise as a result of these CSS table layout properties...

"Everything You Know About CSS Is Wrong" is a very misleading title. The main content of the book deals with CSS-based tables, which is not fully implemented except in a few modern browsers (and will only work under certain conditions). We have to deal with older browsers (like IE6) for a while longer, so there is no need to even try to implement CSS-based tables (professionally) at this point.

Had the title been something like "Use CSS-based Tables in Your Design" I would have bought the book for research and knowledge. I know a lot about CSS and nothing changed by reading this book. My problem is not with the authors; I have great respect for both Rachel and Kevin, but this one is a bit under par.

Over the years I have bought a lot of books from Sitepoint; this one is the first book I regret buying.
