Is it bad use “display: table;” to organise a layout into 2 columns?

Question

I am trying to make a 2 column layout, apparently the bane of CSS. I know you shouldn\'t use tables for layout, but I\'ve settled on this CSS. Note the use of display: table

Answer 1

It would be swell if every possible layout could be done with css, with no tables or pseudo-tables in sight. But there are exceptions, and until html and css (and browser support) let us do it, be comfortable with your tables. The point, after all, is to satisfy your users, not to adhere to someone else's philosophy.
