That's wrong with you?
With you we can never tell when you're joiking, when you're trolling
and when you're just having one of your paranoid delusions. As there
were no W3C conspiracy theories in your post we can rule out the last
one in this case.
Look at the previous post I was quoting to reply to. This extract of code taken from one of Big 8 groups was intended to continue the joke.
I wrote the code you quoted. http://groups.google.com/group/comp....1a2764edce726a http://steve.pugh.net/test/css-table-demo.html
If you want to play with my toys expect me to join in the game. ;-)
More seriously, the code was written as a theoretical exercise ('cos IE
makes it impractical to use in real life) to demonstrate how CSS can
replace tables used for layout.
Replacing data tables, or replacing headings and paragraphs, with
divs+CSS is just stupid and deserves to be laughed at.

It was an example I wrote.
It served its purpose - as a theoretical demo how CSS can be used to
replace layout tables in compliant browsers. It was never meant to
imply that CSS be used to replace data tables and anyone using it as
such is either joking, trolling or, yes, stupid.

But CSS tables don't work in all browsers. That was the whole point of
my post. While I dislike Windows and IE and just about anything else of
Microsoft, I don't carry that to the extreme of making my site unreadable
or have problems for readers using IE.
So wait a few years, then you can do it all in CSS, hopefully.

So I leave the tables in HTML. Works fine as is.

So don't drop tables.
Of couse, if you want to anyway, you can. And it might even work in
IE7 or IE8 or IE9 or so in several years. ph************* *@ipal.net wrote: In comp.infosystem s.www.authoring.html Nik Coughlin <nr******@gmail .com> wrote: ph************* *@ipal.net wrote: In the mean time, I'll be using elements TABLE, TR, and TD for my layouts that can't be done by other means (and this is most of them)

You don't need CSS tables to reproduce a layout that was done with tables in
CSS. The CSS-only version is not going to be a 1:1 conversion from the
table version (<td> isn't just converted to <div>), it requires a different
methodology and mindset, but the CSS version will look and work the same as
the table version. Sure, you have to hack around some IE bugs, but it can
be done. ph************* *@ipal.net wrote: In comp.infosystem s.www.authoring.html VK <sc**********@y ahoo.com> wrote:

You can do table-less layouts with CSS that even work in IE 5. Any table
layout can be reproduced like this. It just takes a bit of effort to change
your mindset from table layout to CSS layout and to learn the various
browser quirks and how to work around them. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |
