Ie 10 Bug With Display Table Css When Height Is 100%?

I've been trying for 3 days to avoid using table in my new responsive design, mostly because everyone says they are evil. On the other hand while doing more research on SEO and tab

Solution 1:

After spending a few days on this question, it seems that for this specific layout (especially the 100% height), using tables is the best option. Those 3 different threads with different twist of the question were unable to get results (so I suspect that this IE bug is one reason to keep using tables in 2014):

• IE 10 bug with display table CSS when height is 100%?

• Header/Footer Layout with 100% Content Height in IE8

• Tableless Table Layout in IE8

By reading more about tables and SEO, I was also unable to find any relevant information or tangible data that using a single table would have any impact at all. The only tangible information I was able to find is that tables will only display once the full HTML has been downloaded in the client. Which again is not a big issue in 2014 considering the HTML's size in the overall size of a web page. CSS can be used for all of the table's style which solves some of the other complains I saw about tables. This article probably reflects best the situation here:

Tables in 2014 might be ok :)
