Daniel0 Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 I believe that for colors there is a value option called transparent. You could use that for the color attribute.

ToonMariner Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 google 'tableless design' Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/23431-is-it-possable-to-set-the-background-color-and-color-to-valadate-as-valadated/#findComment-106828 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildteen88 Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Tables are not ment for layouts. They are mean for displaying tabular data, such as showing temeraters throughout the year.Tabled layouts are easy to do yes. However for me tableless layouts are a lot easier. Plus you get the benefit of coding less HTML, smaller file sizes. You can get a two colmn layout with a header done with just 3 div tags and a few lines of CSS. Where as if its tables it'll be more like 10 or more tags.CSS is specifically designed to style your layouts. Not HTML. HTML is just the blue print of your website.
