Tableless design?

[NewSmartGWTGuy]

Hello,

I am investigating moving to smartgwt EE for a new project. The data binding API is pretty amazing. My designer is also looking at things from his end and is rebelling against < table > tags instead of using CSS table-less design patterns. His feeling is that it will be much more difficult to customize the application to look as he wants.

Are there ways to get SmartGWT to create pages without using tables?

There's no way to completely eliminate use of tables in IE and have the layout behaviors we provide. You can start from the Simplicity skin if you want to maximize the use of CSS3 for appearance, eg, doing rounded borders and gradients in CSS rather than with images in tables. But this will at best gracefully degraded for older IE.
