The way I see it, and what I also got from reading those two articles, is that the ONLY way the table was promoted was as an easier way to do stuff that’s really really hard to do right with CSS, and might need to be rebuilt with a smaller addition. Table-style columns (equal height, background images) spring to mind. They were not promoting going back to all tables, nor going back to all tables but with CSS instead of font tags. They were promoting using table tags as a last-resort-workaround for a very limited set of setups until CSS3 gets implemented, so they can get the job done today. It may be evil evil evil to some of you, but it’s that or five more hours writing code and testing across browsers.

May I suggest Prism. It's still very much in development, but you might be able to use it for more than just CSS Type Set.

I wish there was a offline version or a script version of CSS Type Set… I use your site as a main tool when choosing a font type, color, size, etc.

You guys have done a great job.

NOTE: I noticed that if you accidentally hit enter on any of the fields the text resets itself which it is inconvenient but maybe it is intended to work that way, thought I would bring it to your attention.

Thanks for politely saying what needs to be hollered at every web user. Hopefully more sites will follow your example on this.

Thanks for a great site, too – it’s extremely helpful!

Hi,

Just say –

@ Ray- The base font size is set at 75%.

This is a great tool. One question: Have you defined the base font-size at 76%? When using ems, the font seems small enough that the base font-size cannot be left at 16px.
