Table based design at it's finest!

At work yesterday, I was just minding my own business, listening to iTunes and some of the music that was on my computer already when I was given it. A song came on that I somewhat enjoyed and I decided to google the artist. Her homepage came up of course:

Aside from the short music clip which assaulted me (and kept repeating itself, over and over and over again), it’s not a bad looking page. But WOW! Take a look at the table the site is using for it’s layout - it’s spectacular!

I’ve you have the web developer extension just outline the table cells. Or, try turning off the images. You can really have some fun with this one! Not an alt attribute in sight! Oh - sorry that’s a lie - they are there….they are just empty.

Anyway I found it a bit amusing and thought I’d pass it on. Take some enjoyment from the fact that as long as there are people out there coding sites like this, there should be work available in our field when they need to be updated in the future. Long live table based design!
