Hello. For the last couple of weeks I have been implementing css as much as possible into a site I´m working on (have a few posts here already. Got a lot of help there). My reason for wanting to get into css was primerarly for positioning and cross browser compatibilety. I do however put divs and such into tables but only as a layout. No more transparent gifs And my goal was reached. But I have now stumbeled ont to css layouts. As my index is quite smaller and things look good across browsers I now wonder if there´s a point to spend the time neaded to manage this. I use php so updating pages is allready no problem. In short, what are the benefits beyond this point? Heres a link to prelimenary homepage: http://secondparadigm.eterya.com Sincerely Ronny PS. Thanks to this form for getting me here
Hi Ronny, Still far to many tables for my taste. I would also remove all the onMouseOut and onMouseOver calls with CSS - much cleaner and safer. Otherwise - great job!
Not a benefit, but a way of working: tables aren't made for displaying non-tabular data. Which means: if you have a price list in multible catagories... use a table! If you have a list: use a list (UL LI) etc. Furthermore, tables are a hassle to work with with advanced layouts and working with grids.
Thanks for your feedback. I´ll try to strip down the tables some more. It´s quite a transition when i´ve been designing using tables for so long. But the learning prosess is fun. When figuring out what I set out to do I can´t seem to let it go It seems I´m on the right track though. I´m sure youll hear from me again
