Tables to CSS

[waiterm]

Hi,

I'm currently dynamically building my tables from a recordset. i.e. multiple columns and as many rows as in the recordset with column headers. However, in a bid to move my sites over to CSS I'm finding it difficult to reproduce anything as efficient as the tables used to produce. I understand I can set specific widths for each table cell, and base the positioning on the left margin, however, in some case I actually want an entire column to be as wide as the widest cell? Where do I start?

Thanks in advance...

If the data you are showing is tabular data (example: financials, calendar) then you are best advised to render them in a table! If the data you are showing is not semantically tabular, then you are encouraged to avoid using the <table> tag. As you are experiencing... the markup is often greater if you try and use DIVs etc instead.

Cheers,
Jeff
