Scaling is just as easily done with CSS and divs, if thay's what the designer wants. But I would argue that having a width of 95% produces a site that looks fine at the lower res. but starts to look ridiculous as it gets wider (high res.) Sure, the user can reduce the active window size, but why should a user have to keep changing the active window size because all site designers are building for different widths? Let's try and standardize things here. Whatever tables for layout users say, they are wrong in using tables for layout! Well, Pieter, that is not a good arguement for tables, my friend!

Just want to add another argument. Nowadays people go to the computer shop and acquire a wide screen of 1200 pixels wide up to 1900 pixels wide. Coming home they see their favorite css build sites looking like small postal stamps (hopefully centered) in a screen filled with the background color because they are all hard coded in css for lets say 800*600 so the designer can place his/her image at hard coded location x,y,z. Give me a scaling table designed site that does [width ="95%"]. Then you get on your screen what you've paid for! If it's tooooo wide one can even _choose_ to reduce the active window size to your liking. Thanks for the article. Just want to add another argument.
