Webmaster Forum / HTML, CSS, Scripts / CSS / October 2003Can this be done with CSS
Hi folks, I'm sort of new to CSS and was wondering if I can render a "table" like layout without the use of tables. The following link is an image file of what I would like to render with CSS. http://216.189.167.195/testsurvey/question.jpg I'm having trouble alingning things together. Can anyone provide a sample for me. I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks > I'm sort of new to CSS and was wondering if I can render a "table" > like layout without the use of tables.

While you /could/ duplicate that layout using CSS (although using CSS that works in MSIE would be rather harder), it looks very much like tabular data to me.

There are things like table cells, table rows etc that you can apply to other elements like divs, spans etc. eg you can tell using CSS a div to display like a table row and a span to display like a table cell etc. But it won't work in IE. IE only recognises (I think) block, inline and none for the display attribute. I'd just use an html table myself though in that case.

Don't you believe that tabular data should be marked up as <table>? Sure, tables are used in way too many occasions but in this case I think the use of <table> is the most meaningful markup. Think about it: Satisfaction, 1,2,3,4,5, Importance, Not at all, A bit, Very, Comments, Products, Services and Support are all table headers. Or you could say that Products, Services and Support are table data and add some header cell for that column, too. After all, what is an table if not a grid where data is in the inner cells and column and row headers are on the outer cells? If you still think that this isn't a table, you have to use "display: table", but be warned that MSIE doesn't support that. SignatureMikko > > How can this be done in CSS.

Indeed, and using <table> for tabular data gives big advantages in some browsers because of the header assigning attributes - using a speech browser I'd far rather view tabular data as a table than as a bunch of linearised divs. SignatureChris > I'm sort of new to CSS and was wondering if I can render a "table" > like layout without the use of tables.

This is exactly what tables are intended for. Use a table.

Great this answers my question. Thanks all. |
