I agree with Jim. Though I'm not such a purist that says you can never
use a table for layout -- I just think a table is more trouble than it's
worth here and not a good structural match anyway.
As to using tables with Radiant, I don't understand your question.
Using tables is like using any other markup with Radiant. You can. Or
were you trying to automatically create this page from a db somehow with
your own custom tags?
Anyway, this is more of a CSS/Markup question than a Radiant one. I'll
offer my thoughts, but if you want to discuss more, email me off the list.
My suggestion...
So, I'd stay off of the tabular bit and keep your unordered lists. You
can probably find a way to use inline-block but FireFox still doesn't
support it (though it does offer: -moz-inline-block which is similar).
The quick solution is to return to the float: left (that is see you have
commented out). The problem is that you need to clear every 4th item so
that it fully wraps to the left and creates a new line (I might use
something like <li class="newRow">. Then change your CSS:
ul#staff li {
float: left;
width: 155px;
margin: 0 10px 18px 0;
vertical-align: top;
list-style: none none inside; <-- added this (display: block
will accomplish this in many browsers too).
}
ul#staff li.newRow {
clear: left;
}
I realize that this isn't ideal since you're adding some style-info into
markup but, hey you were considering tables -- and that's pure style
embedded intermingled with markup -- so I figure this solution would be
acceptable.
Disclaimer: This might need some tweaking across browsers but probably
not much if any. Works just fine in FF (don't have time to test in all
browsers right now).
By the way, some of your email addresses are too long and extend over
into the next column.
Hope that helps,
-Chris
