Use <div>s with the CSS overflow property set to auto, and a PHP include() to achieve the same effect. That way you can use a strict doctype instead of settling for transitional.

Re: Do you use tables to control your web page content?

Please when posting in this thread from now on, make sure that you are not just repeating what someone else has said and make sure you are not just posting a one liner such as 'Yes, I do'. Posts should say why you like it and why you don't like the other or why you think this, and why you think that person is wrong etc. etc.

Re: Do you use tables to control your web page content?

rarely, but I do use tables sometimes. Thats for content only though. Layouts and templates that I code myself are completely css and xhtml (with bits of javascript here and there). and they validate

Re: Do you use tables to control your web page content?

If I need to display information such as the result of a survey or something like that in raw data, I use tables. Also, when I started HTML and didn't know about CSS, I use tables. But a month after I learned CSS and now, I always use DIVs and CSS.

Tables seem to have outdone itself and may no longer be appropriate for web pages. Somehow they're very simple to use when page download speed is not compromised.

Re: Do you use tables to control your web page content?

I never use tables for my layouts, I'll use them for something that should be a table, like results or something. But for laying things out I use divs and then css to control the divs. I just find it much easier and more accurate to control than anything else I've ever tried!
