Tables? Oh, the horror! 05/16/2004 04:30 PM

Apparently there remains some confusion after my Thursday-afternoon rumination on the poten tial use of tables, as opposed to pure CSS-based layouts. I'm going to share some of my experience to help clear this up.

Gasp! Tables!

Gasp! Tables! 05/13/2004 05:06 PM

Andy Budd, a name some of you will recognize as a proponent of CSS-based design, has decided to take a long, hard objective look at the arguments made in favor of CSS.

I'm sure we've all found ourselves writing fairly complicated CSS to do something that would be trivial using tables. Take form styling for example. It's possible to lay out even very tricky forms using tables in just a few minutes. You can achieve similar results by floating elements with CSS, but it's a lot more involved

The rest of Andy's points are lucid, level-headed, and enforce something that you may or may not personally believe: CSS-based design under all circumstances, while a goal to strive for, is hard. Using a table for layout may at times be the best way to get the job done.

For example, it's (relatively) easy to keep a CSS-based design functioning on a simple 10 page, custom-designed site; you're designing for rigid and known conditions. There's almost never a need to fall back to tables under those circumstances.

But it's a whole new level to keep a large 500 page CMS-driven site functioning, which could potentially see large images dropped in the content area (thus breaking your floats), or multiple hands involved in creating markup (including those that are markup-illiterate), or any number of other conditions beyond your direct control. More and more of us are learning this from direct experience, myself included. Just because you know how to code without a table in sight doesn't mean the rest of the stakeholders in your project will.

None of this is permission to go wild. One simple table stripped of presentational markup should almost always suffice in these circumstances. And please, leave the multiple nested tables in 1999.

But claiming structural tables are wrong under any and all circumstances is too much of an ideal at this moment in time. The practical reality of today's web is that learning curves and browser support can sometimes raise the bar too high for full-out CSS design in certain scenarios. A designer using proper discretion who pays special attention to accessibility, essentially a designer who is educated and capable of using tables well, may consider the layout table a still-valuable tool.

Reactions will be mixed. Vive la difference!

CSS vs. Tables - an objective look

CSS vs. Tables - an objective look 05/13/2004 02:00 PM

Andy Budd offers an objective look at table based vs. CSS based design, arguing that using tables for layout sometimes makes more sense than relying on CSS. He also states that the "CSS only" approach of some standards enthusiasts may alienate those not so well-versed in CSS.

Although some of the purists in my customer base may be shocked to hear this, I'm inclined to agree with Andy. IMO, you should use whichever technique makes your work easier - both long-term and short-term. Now, I tend to avoid tables since they're a pain to maintain, but I also realize pure CSS designs can be equally painful given all the cross-browser pitfalls.

When I advocate CSS, it's never from a dogmatic position - instead, it's simply because CSS makes things so much easier, especially when it comes to updating your site. If using CSS doesn't simplify your work, then you need to simplify how you're using CSS, even if that means (shudder) using tables for your layout.

I will be the first to admit I have several websites with Tables and need to get them converted to CSS. I encourage you to take the time and read the linked article to better understand why you are throwing money away every day by not cleaning up your website and converting from plain jane HTML to CSS.

While misused tables are becoming increasingly rare, the table retains a legitimate role in data formatting. A little CSS and JavaScript magic can make tables better at what they do best: displaying tabular data.

The Trouble with Tables

The Trouble with Tables 02/05/2003 10:17 AM
I keep coming across articles about tables in web pages. It seems that some people don't like them at all. Dave Winer hates the performance of the weblogs.com front page. Understandably so, it's a dog.

Even if we pretend that HTML hasn't degraded from a logical format to a presentation format, tables are still a good thing. The bottom line is that many forms of data are tabular and pretending otherwise just makes the final presentation (because there's always a final presentation somewhere) harder or ugly or both. -- Michael Winser

According to Dave, Michael is one of the IE developers at Microsoft. Michael's solution is table-layout.

Building accessible tables. 09/30/2002 01:52 PM
CSS and XHTML have given tables a pretty rough ride in recent times. Of course, this is the fault of just about all web developers who have at some point in their career used them for laying out page elements. This article is not about using tables for layout. It is about how to use tables to display information in an accessible manner. Use XHTML and CSS all you want for layout, but if you have information relationships to display, use tables and use them well.
