premiso Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Nested DIV's is perfectly fine and necessary in most cases. However, depending on the data you need to use the proper methods. If it is a blog you are designing then the CSS / DIVs is definitely the way to go. But if you are trying to display tabular data from a database, I would stick to tables. Hope that helps.

haku Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Just be careful of these two things: 1) Don't try to mimic tables with divs. Divs are not tables. They are used very differently. 2) Don't get divitis - overuse of divs. Use divs if you are creating a division on the page. Use <p> tags if its a paragraph. Use <ul> tags if its a list. Use <blockquote> if its a blockquote. Divitis is almost as bad as tables in its own way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
