OK everyone, I am going to go out there and say it, I use tables on my site. I am not proud of it. I use them because I am not a pro and I do not know how to effectively use an alternative because I dont know what options are available. Should I use <div> or is there some other formatting code that will be around for awhile which will make my life easier after I learn it. I have some css knowledge but only enough to format text and image style. BTW I was asking about using basic PHP a couple months ago and you all taught me. You guys and gals rock. It has helped me immensely! So what is a good resource I can use to replace my tables with for a more efficient formatting? Thank in advance. Cheers!
Here are some tools to generate div CSS layout. Hope it's helpful... http://www.pagecolumn.com/3_column_div_generator.htm
The <div> tag is the best way to build a website, and keep it clean. I used to use tables myself, and hated them. Then, I discovered the magic of <div> and i'm never going back. CSS is also a great tool too. As digital29 mentioned, w3schools.com is a great way to learn CSS, or any language you'd need for that matter. Using CSS to design your <div>'s is SO MUCH EASIER than using tables.
Yup, like other people said, divs are the best way to build a website but it takes some time and patience to get a hang of it, so don't ever give up. Good luck with learning CSS
