For me, I would try NOT to use tables. One of the things I did not too
long ago was create a bare-bones three column template using CSS. I keep
it handy in case I need to whip something up quick.

However, I can certainly see where budget and time constraints would
push you in that direction.....

Subject: [WebAIM] Simple layout tables

Im a CSS developer and always build sites with CSS positioning.
However there are occasions when the design/budget would suit a very
simple 3 column table - due to flexible column designs (min-max width).
Whats the general consensus on using such a table and does that affect
accessibility. I know there are javascript workarounds for min-max width
in IE.
