Hi,
I've finally added my entire dvd list in a database, and now I want to write
it out on my web site. My first thought is that this should be marked up as
a table, but then again it is a list.
This is the information:
Cool Hand Luke DVD
Entry Date: 2007/2/6
Tagline: What we've got
I would probably do something like:
hN class=titleCool Hand Luke/hN
dl
dtMedium/dt
ddDVD/dd
dtEntry Date/dt
dd2007/2/6/dd
etc
/dl
I might add in some more classnames to give the markup more meaning.

Thanks, Andrew.
It makes sense to use a DL. I sometimes have difficulties knowing when to
use a table and when to use a dl, so I appreciate the reply.
Kind regards

Maybe a DL? Any thoughts?
I'd definitely stick
Thank you for the suggestion, I really appreciate it :)
I'm somewhat torn between the two (dl vs. table). I can see the logic behind
the dl, but I guess it's tabular data as well as a list. Can someone tip the
balance here?
Kind regards

I'd definitely stick to the table. A table is
To display just one item, I'd incline to your original dl solution.
To list everything in your collection, I think a table definitely
makes more sense.
I would probably choose to list only some of the data in the table
view and make the movie title a link to the detail view with all the

I think this is the kind of situation that can be marked up either as a
definition list or a table without too many people objecting to the
semantics in either case. It comes down to how you want the data to be
perceived I guess. A definition list will encourage users to look at
each movie

Each piece of data you want to mark up is tabular data - that is to say
it is defined by its place in a 2-dimensional grid, where one axis is
the DVD it is referring to, and the other is the attribute it describes.
Using a table you can get that second dimension
Apologies, I made a silly mistake, the rows shouldn't have name in
their headers attribute. If you want to associate the cells in each row
with the film name you'll have to give the cell containing the film name
a unique id (I think).

Hi
Cannot really add any more to the discussion rather than I personally use a
table for my collection of Phantom comics that I have listed on one of my
websites.
