portia Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I've read some old articles that one should avoid tables and concentrate on css (div) to organise the layout of a website. Is that true? Why is that? thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Yes its true. Because tables where not designed to layout entire pages. they are there to organize tabular data, not an entire page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
portia Posted February 28, 2010 Author Share Posted February 28, 2010 Thanks. Ok, so I'll use tables only when I've got a 'table' with some sort of data to be shown on a website. Or can css do it as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haku Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 If it's tabular data (i.e. two categories cross-referenced), then using tables is the correct way to go. The main point is to not use tables to lay out your site. CSS should be used for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
