div tags or table tags

[rajeshdara]

Hi friends,

While designing the html page, is it better to use table tags instead of div tags? If i use entirely table tags instead of div tags, is it will give good results?

hoping the nice reply

It depends on what you want to show on your page. If you are showing tabular data, then use tables. If you are looking for ways to set the layout of your page then avoid tables and go with a CSS based approach (which will probably involve some div tags).

Div tags are the answer. No question.

When designing the page, use divs. When displaying tabular data (ie. calendars, lists of numeric data, spreadsheets etc) then you would use a table (when it is semantically correct).

That's the ideal, anyway.

Make sure your web page and css validates properly against the doctype you have chosen - before you attempt to debug a problem!
