i see a lot of stuff going back and forth, tables are easy to use and do
exactly what the name says it does ROWS/COLUMNS
what is a GOOD reason to use DIVs instead ?
thanks

If you think of it as either / or, one instead of the other, you are missing a
major opportunity.
Each has advantages & disadvantages, and sometimes one is best, sometimes the
other. And in combination you can sometimes do things that would be harder
with just one of them.

No good reason.
<DIV> in HTML is just as bad as "applicatio n/octet-stream" in MIME.
Both have no meaning.

Of course application/octet-stream is better then text/html when the data
being sent is a windows executable file.

because you can do a LOT more than you can with tables and you can do it
with far less effort once you've learned the basics of css

You mean in ciwah? But you didn't want to comment in those threads? It's
hard to know exactly what you saw.

ROWS/COLUMNS
Absolutely. Rows using <tr> and columns in <td> (table data) or <th>
(table header). But then, I find most elements easy to use. In fact,
table markup is actually the most difficult to work with, since you must
make sure that each row has the same number of columns. Still, you are
right: it is not difficult to create the markup.
what is a GOOD reason to use DIVs instead ?
Instead? If you have tabular data, you should use table markup. That's
what it's for. Did you mean, "what is a GOOD reason to use DIVs instead
[of tables for layout]?"

I have a querey formed with a few joins and a lot of fields, and no
kidding, it takes up to 2 minutes for the PHP page to poulate with all
the results (usually around 300).
Now, we have a pretty good server: dual Pentium 4 CPUs and a gig of
RAM. And all other queries seem to fly.
So there must be something about this querey that must be horribly
inefficient and badly written.
Can anyone give me any tips on how I can better this?

Hi,
I have tables named like ag97a027, ag98a027, ... where 97 and 98 is
from year 1997, 1998 and a027 is just specification of product type. I
need carry out repeated operataions over these tables. To generate
their names is easy, for example
use
declare @Yint int, @Y char(2), @tabName char(8)
set @Yint = 1997
while @Yint < 2002

Are we going backwards ? (please excuse my spelling...)
In my opinion an absolute YES !
Take a look at what we are doing ! we create TAGS, things like <H1> etc.
and although there are tools (dreamweaver and the like), they are all at the
lowest level of programming (something like assembly as oposed to C++ etc.).
These tools create "brain-dead" developers that constantly have to plough
through tons of tags to do the simplest thing.

Traditionally I think of a classic structure as simply an object where

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
