Table vs Tabless

Hey ,
i need your opinion

Which is better
Table design or a table less design.

 

Table less is much better then table.

 

Please don't waste everyone's time. Had you done due diligence, and simply searched the site, you would probably find that same question asked just about weekly.

To answer the question, tables absolutely should not be used as a layout device. No non-trivial table layout can be either well structured or semantic.

Divs are the future!

 

This is just not a question anyone should be asking anymore.

 

tabless, tables are for tabulated data not for using to create layouts.

think semantic.

 

Tableless web design refers to the way in which a page is conceived without the usage of HTML tables in order to regulate page layout controls. While it is true that the usage of HTML tables are abandoned in such cases, it has been replaced by the usage of other style sheet languages like for example, CSS or Cascading Style Sheets which are instrumental in aiding the composition of a web page.

Thanks.

 

I think that table less is much effective then using table......

 

table less is much more effective and easy to navigate.

 

Tableless design for the win.
I might be bit more complicated to make a tableless design but it's worth it.
To be honest I don't know how to work with tables, let make a full design using them

 

Tables less is always the way to go. In todays standards tables should only be used for tubular data.

 

I agree with what both of these people said, this isn't a question you should be asking as it has been discussed hundreds of times by some of the top developers and it always ends up with non table designs winning. Why?

Because using CSS allows you to separate structure from visual formatting meaning you can easily change the look of your page without having to edit the actual code. The page files are much smaller as you don't have a load of crappy coded tables in it and also you can apply CSS to more then one page meaning your design is not locked in a page by page format.

 

of course table less design - <div></div>

 

Okay, thats simply hillarious. It's no more ninetees, and there is such thing as W3 standarts, so this question is no more

 

Table less for sure

 

Table less is better. Your pages will load faster. Use external CSS

 

If you have to ask the question, you should not be building websites.

 

That might be a bit harsh. The unfortunate truth is that there are online tutorials, books, and high school and college courses that teach table layouts first. I imagine that many people just getting into web development are understandably confused.

The issue with the OP's having asked, is that common netiquette would have had him search the forums where he would have found myriad threads on the same question.

cheers,

Thanks all of you for your views.
