You can still apply styles to individual tables within a DIV. However a DIV allows you to manipulate a section of the page, including its location, something you cannot do with a table alone.
See http://www.csszengarden.com for examples of how well you can theme pages if they are DIV'ed intelligently. You cannot do this kind of styling using tables. Consider these two web pages. The only difference between these pages is the CSS, the HTML is identical. http://www.csszengarden.com/?cssfile=/142/142.css&page=0 http://www.csszengarden.com/?cssfile=/144/144.css&page=0 Not only are the fonts/colors etc different but the entire layout of the page (location of the menu, intoduction, paragraphs etc) is different. IMO the differences between the handling of DIVs in IE and the mozilla-based browsers is no worse than the differences in the handling of tables and margins (in many cases is the same old issue, e.g. whether outer margins are counted as being within the overall width of the object etc) View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3863425#3863425 Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&p=3863425 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.
