Like this guy --^ I wonder if he just translates the first post, cause he doesn't read English, and responds without looking at the dates cause he definitely didn't read any of the previous posts.
While some have predicted this thread will go on and on...let me help fulfill that. TABLE tags are not very "semantic" or "like normal language". The creator of the web, Tim Berners-Lee, has said that the web needs to be more semantic. DIV tags are not much better, but do allow CSS to take over the responsibility of presentation. Separation of content and presentation, while making a web page more semantic, will be a web page that will be interpreted ( parsed ) correctly now and in the near future.
Now, see. This question gets asked over and over and over again on this board and you're just piling on. You'd think the OP would Google about this, after all, that's what it's for, and there are a bazillion results with all the same answers.
Opportunists, no one would say posts are SPAM and post count # goes up + signature promo. Come on, get over this Transistor vs Television discussions everybody knows that TV is much better than Transistor and jump into something new, something constructive and not boring and discussed from the stone age, let's discuss on UX, Accessibility, Methods share ideas. Let's get a positive buzz on this DP rather SPAMS. DP community (at least this part of the forum) has been continuously degrading. Quality discussions is missing like the desert miss the rain.
"Transistor vs Television" That is a new one on me... ?? Yes, this forum has spammers, but not all of us are such. See ... no sig !
Yah, but he ( or she ) sure has an interesting member's page : LINK. That is the first pink and purple one I have ever seen.
I am new in this forum. My english is not good, i am sorry about that anyway, my prefer is DIV. But sometimes DIV is not enought. For example, i made this website with "div" but in PROJECTS >> ANKARA, i used TABLE. Because it was be problem with "width=100%" page style. example website: akcabas.com/ind have a nice day guys!!
If you have to use a table for layout, it means you don't understand your problems with using other means and CSS. Tables never need to be used for layout.
