Table with 1200 rows, very difficult and slow

I have a list with 1200 free directories which was submitted by myself, and want to put this list on my website. But in dreamveaver, if you insert a table with 1200 rows, this will almost crash your computer and even a single move of mouse will be very slow. And if I separate it to several tables and set cellpadding and cellspacing, it has problem of alignment (down tables will shift the colums a few pixels to the right from the uppder table).

Can anybody give me some advice or solutions for this? BTW, what's <tbody>?

 

Use multiple pages.

 

make multiple pages with lets say 100 on a page.

navigation example:

page one:

<a href="2.html">next page</a><br>

page two

<a href="1.html">back</a> | <a href="3.html">next page</a><br>

page 11
<a href="10.html">back</a> | <a href="12.html">next page</a><br>


etc

 

i would generate the code and paste it into the dreamweaver code page, that doesn't lag like the design view. If you send me the table i'll send you back the htm file, no charge

 

hmmm,

you all are coding in pure html?

i'm sure there are alot of free cms systems that suits your purposes?

alternately,

12 pages of 100 links is more viable.

 

See Tables in HTML documents.

to be professional can try php and mysql... both are free and easy to use and very fast if written well... wht u say friends???

 

I second isti, it's the only way to go.
