Tables are the go Thierry. The names and functions are always correctly justified that way.
Not only that the dots look clunky, like a word document user who hasn't yet discovered tabs, and so just uses stops or the space bar. best Rob Robert Robinson BSS (Applied Psych & Pers Mgt & IR) e-Publishing Section Service Delivery Design & Support Branch Customer Service Design & Implementation Division Phone: Fax: Email: (02) 6244 6616 (sp. 446616) (02) 6244 7952 (sp. 447952) Robert Robinson "Thierry Koblentz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 07/03/2007 12:51 PM Please respond to wsg@webstandardsgroup.org To <wsg@webstandardsgroup.org> cc Subject [WSG] Talking about tabular data... Reference Expires The tabular data thread reminds me of one I participated in in another group. The original post was: <quote> I have a page with a list of officers of an organization. It's an obvious application for a table because that's what tables were designed for. But I wanted it to look the way it did in the printed version, where there was a row of dots leading from the heading to the person's name. For example (and this might not look right depending on your browser or viewer): President..................................John Smith Vice-president.........................Janet Jones In other words, the items in the two columns line up horizontally, and the cell on the left is filled out with dots. </quote> I'm curious to know what members of this group think about this. Should this be considered tabular data or not? Do you consider a table the best tool to mark this up? Or at least as good as anything else? I'm curious because I've been so much criticized for my view on this that I'd like to know if I'm not missing something...
