+1 to that. I use tables for forms about 50% of the time. It depends how often the form needs to change/how dynamic it is.The Ninja Space Goat wrote:I don't see what the big deal is about using tables for form layout... it just makes sense. I understand the site's layout not being in a table, but tables are PERFECTLY suited for forms... why not use them?

Tables for tabular data. In my opinion (yes, this is an opinion) forums are not tabular. Form are regular elements of a page that should be treated as their own types. Again, this is an opinion.
As for tabular layouts, bleh. Code to compliance, hack to non-compliance. Opera is the most standard browser, Firefox is a close second. Almost every one of my designs will work right off the bat in both of them. I usually have to tweak something for IE, but when it is done right, it can be hacked quickly and with little fuss. At least this has been the case in my experience. In fact, I haven't coded a table layout in so long I am not sure that I would be able to do it properly right now.

Yea that pretty much describes me as well...Everah wrote:As for tabular layouts, bleh. Code to compliance, hack to non-compliance. Opera is the most standard browser, Firefox is a close second.

yea I threw together a table layout the other day and it felt strange... It had to be a tabular layout because of a CMS system my boss uses for some of our clients. I never thought I'd say that...Everah wrote:In fact, I haven't coded a table layout in so long I am not sure that I would be able to do it properly right now.
OOPS... sorry for the double post... I'm not quite sure how that happened... ?
