Tables for Web Design | Lecture Slide ShowOriginally tables were developed to hold tabular data much like a spreadsheet on the web. But designers quickly recognized the tables’ possibilities as a design tool and a new type of web design was born. Today everything you can do with a table you can do with CSS, but should you abandon tables? Absolutely not! In fact the ideal for successful web design is a marriage between tables and CSS.
Benefits of Tables
- Flexible design in proportion to the visitors web browser
- Tables act consistently among almost all browsers
- Easy to map out (transfer print design to the web)
Some people believe that tables should never be used for layout and should only be used for tabular data. This is a pretty small crowd and the fact is a large amount of design is still done today with tables (aided with CSS).
