Alex,
Thank you for a very well-explained and thought-provoking post. I have a question for you: you said that a migration from tables to divs has won you 10KB by reducing mere HTML code. I don’t see where you’re getting this: as I understand, in most cases you just replace with which ain’t gonna save you anything. Can you explain this please?
Thanks,
Irina
P.S. I’ve never thought of the importance of CSS-spriting before – it’s fantastic!

Haha, your blog ignored tags. I meant to write: “replace <table class=”someclass”> with <div class=”someclass”>

A perfect question, Irina! As I wrote above, I will speak about HTML and CSS in the next post, and I promise to explain these moments thoroughly.
