Anyone know of a good example of a messy table-based layout? Ideally, it would be nice to have the same layout table-less for a comparison. I found one using the Yahoo! main page as an example ( http://www.ugcs.caltech.edu/~takoyaki/css-test/yahoobeta_css.html ), but the tabled version really isn't all that bad. I want something completely raunchy. Any suggestions?

That certainly has a lot of tables ;) but I was looking for a site with a design layed out in tables - something with a lot of nesting and whatnot.

Here's a table and CSS layout except in this case the table layout is actually very good (especially because the CSS layout doesn't work properly in IE).
Table: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/duplicatemovie_mx2004.htm
CSS: http://nokrev.com/code/kirupa/css/index.html

Some table layouts:

Slim pickings :gm:

Still, the kirupa site isnt THAT bad. I have yet to find a bad example.

Ha, thanks for suggesting my version, fellas.

Anyways, I'd check out some of Doug Bowman's presentations. I think once he mentions www.microsoft.com, and the new version, which validates (or comes very close).

I think he has both versions somewhere. Go and see. :)

^^ yeah

The old slashdot was terrible. It's still ugly, but it's got better code.
