is DIV really better than TABLE ?

Mel
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

I haven't a clue what that statement means!

I suggest you don't try to state what I feel without first checking what I
feel. It is unlikely that you will be correct, and I assume you don't want to
post inaccurate statements.

He's suggesting you are the only person here thinking that "complex
material" may include presentation(al markup).

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. ...

I have a database file that I use an autonumber field as the primary key index. Because of some rearrangements in the past, this index does not match the order that I would like it to be in, that is date order. What I would like to do is to eliminated the primary key field (I know how to do this), sort on the date field, and then reindex with a new autonumber field. Every time I try, however, the default sort field left over from the...

I ran afoul of this Compiler error CS1612 recently, when trying to modify a Point, which I had made have a property. It's pointless to do this (initially it will compile, but you'll run into problems later). Apparently Point is a struct, a value type, and it does not behave like a classic structure (in my mind's eye, and see below). Traditionally I think of a classic structure as simply an object where every member is public. But with...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
