Will Webdev ever get rid of the html tables? (2 replies)

Hi,

After wasting many hours on RWD I started evaluating if my effort really had a chance of success.
I hate to admit it, but no!
I cannot expect my client to pay for so many hours, without optimal result.
While the use of html tables has been deprecated since HTML5, Webdev 21 still uses them for the layout.
A page can have hundreds of td tags.
It seems to me that this is the source of most problems with design in general and responsive in particular.
This Christmas tree just has got too many branches.
Unfortunately to head back from this dead end road, PCSoft need to basically start from scratch and start creating clean css based pages.
In the one year update cycle they have committed themselves to I don't think this will be possible.
Unless (and I really hope so) they have a parallel development line somewhere that they will of a sudden pull out of their sleeves.
So I have a hard time believing Fabrice's prediction that a few versions ahead it will be alright. (Even if I had the time to wait that long)
As the whole back office of my client is based on Windev/HFSQL I'm stuck to Webdev, but real responsiveness seems out of reach.
For now, dynamic serving seems the only way to go.

Best regards,
Piet
