Nested tables can slow down your site. This is especially true when the client is using Netscape since the page is not rendered until the whole table is completed.

I saw this big nested table in inc_footer.asp,

<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>
<table border=0 width="95%" cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 align=center>
<tr>
<td>
<table width=100% border=0 bgcolor="<% =strForumCellColor %>">
<tr bgcolor="<% =strForumCellColor %>">
<td bgcolor="<% =strForumCellColor %>">
<table border=0 width="100%">
<tr>
<td bgcolor="<% =strForumCellColor %>" align=left valign=top nowrap><font face="<% =strDefaultFontFace %>" size="<% =strFooterFontSize %>">
<% =strForumTitle %>
</font></td>
<td bgcolor="<% =strForumCellColor %>" align=right valign=top nowrap><font face="<% =strDefaultFontFace %>" size="<% =strFooterFontSize %>">
<% =strCopyright %>
</font></td>
</tr>
</table>
<td bgcolor="<% =strForumCellColor %>" width=10 nowrap><a href="#top"><img src="icon_go_up.gif" height=15 width=15 border="0" align="right" alt="Go To Top Of Page"></a></font></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<table width="100%" border=0>
<tr>
<td align="right"><font face="<% =strDefaultFontFace %>" size="<% =strFooterFontSize %>">
<a href="http://forum.snitz.com"><% if strShowImagePoweredBy = "1" then %><acronym title="Powered By: <% =strVersion %>"><img src="logo_powered_by.gif" border=0></acronym><%else%>Snitz Forums 2000 <%end if%></a>
</font></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</font id=code></pre id=code>

That's 4 tables with 3 of them being nested!

Here's an optimized version that does pretty much the same thing but in just one table <img src=icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>.

<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>
<table width="95%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3" align="center">
<tr bgcolor="<% =strForumCellColor %>">
<td bgcolor="<% =strForumCellColor %>" align="left" valign="top" nowrap><font face="<% =strDefaultFontFace %>" size="<% =strFooterFontSize %>">
<% =strForumTitle %>
</font></td>
<td bgcolor="<% =strForumCellColor %>" align="right" valign="top" nowrap><font face="<% =strDefaultFontFace %>" size="<% =strFooterFontSize %>">
<% =strCopyright %>
</font></td>
<td bgcolor="<% =strForumCellColor %>" width="10" nowrap><a href="#top"><img src="icon_go_up.gif" height="15" width="15" border="0" align="right" alt="Go To Top Of Page"></a></font></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right" colspan=3><font face="<% =strDefaultFontFace %>" size="<% =strFooterFontSize %>">
<a href="http://forum.snitz.com"><% if strShowImagePoweredBy = "1" then %><acronym title="Powered By: <% =strVersion %>"><img src="logo_powered_by.gif" border="0" WIDTH="142" HEIGHT="23"></acronym><%else%>Snitz Forums 2000 <%end if%></a>
</font>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</font id=code></pre id=code>

<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code><%On Error goto Hell%></font id=code></pre id=code>

I brought this up while back, but no one wanted to listen to me. <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle> While I could live with a couple (I use them sparingly for things), but these are rediculous, IMHO!
