W3C says somewhere that tables should not be used for formatting
columns etc. but that style sheets should be used instead. This has a
major unlearning/relearning implications for me (and just about everyone
else I suppose). That also makes Hotdog ver 6.5 and "Using htnl 4" by
Molly Holzschlag Publ Que instantly out-of-date! Where are the
documents that show you how to do this? The tutorial on the W3C site is
too elementary for me.
The W3C validator page itself uses this recommended technique but I
have no reference about much of the code it uses. For example:
@import url (alpha import??)
div.navbar {
float: right;
text-align: right;
text-decoration: none;
margin: .1ex .1ex 2.5ex 1ex;
padding: 1ex;
background-color: #eee;
border-left: 1px solid black;
clear: both;
width: 8em;
}
(float?? ex??)
This code properly places a navigation bar which I would have used a
table to create. And so and so forth... ???
TIA
