If you have to make a site that looks the same in as many browsers as possible then you should probably be looking at using tables but if you are looking to make a lighter more flexible and accessible site then some kind of table-free design would seem a good idea. Strictly speaking CSS/XHTML standards compliant designs can still contain tables - it is the next step to table-free/semantically correct designs where the big leap takes place. rickindy: [quote]Tables are for holding things.[/quote] Well technically tables are for tabular data. poi: [quote]Doing an N columns layout with each column having the height of the bigger one requires 3x more efforts than it's worth it.[/quote] Clearly if you are attempting to adapt a table-based design like that to a table-free design then you will run into problems. However, we only have those designs because we used tables as a hack anyway and a hack to give us what are essentially print-based designs (and lets be honestwe then had to hack tables to get things like 'guttering' - site slike WebWonk really helped in that regard). To successfully use table-free designs requires a change in the way you think about designing web pages and start designing for the web - see discussion here: [url=http://development.gurusnetwork.com/discussion/thread/1899/]http://development.gurusnetwork.com/discussion/thread/1899/[/url] ___________________ Emps FAQs: [url=http://faq.ozoneasylum.com/53/]Emperor[/url] Loading...
