Cool Do you use tables to control your web page content?

Just as the title says.

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

I know I shouldn't really, but I just find it easier to put everything in a simple table.
I have started to move away from tables now though.

*Moved to Crossfire*
It isn't a request for Programming Help so it doesn't fit there.

I'm sorry. You will probably need to move my other question.

Okay, you moved it. Thank you.

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

Well, tables and <div>'s are useful in their own specific areas. I usually put tables in to map out the outer structure of my sites, and then <div>'s to hold the content areas.

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

I keep reading that tables are done, and to always use <div> tags.

I remember coming across a few that recommended <ul> tags instead. I've done that about once, and never did it again.

<ul> tags define a list... you know:
Code:
<ul>
<li>Item 1</li>
<li>Item 2</li>
</ul>

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

<ul> tags define an unordered list, <ol> for ordered ones (with numbers, not bullets), and <li> tags define list items. Not for page structure at all.

And tables are really annoying. I used to organise everything with them, but I'm a good boy now and use <div> tags to do it. It can take ages sometimes, but when you get the desired result at the end of it, it feels great.

Use <div>s!

-Luke.

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

There is a neat tool here called table to css, and it is supposed to be able to convert a template made with tables into one made using CSS. Unfortunately it's only a trial, but it may still be of some use.
