How to make a phone list with css

[harrymossman]

We are converting our site from tables to css.

Our list of division phone numbers is currently a 2 column table: Col. 1 Division, Col. 2 Number. So the numbers all line up under each other.

Should we leave it a table? I guess it is legitimately a table. What other options are there?

I suggest using a table, as this is the intent of the <table> tag in the first place.

It could be interpreted as a table, so yeah you can use a table.

You could also use a complex system of nested div's, but why try to re-invent hot water.

I think this is one of those instances, when a table is a table, and should remain a table. You can still use CSS to style the table and the cells if you so wish.

Unknown has caused an Unknown Error on Unknown and must be shutdown to prevent damage to Unknown.

Thanks. I'm convinced.

You could use a definition list and fix the width of the <dt> elements or float the <dt> left and the <dd> to the right.
