Div or Table?
11/1/2004 11:16:42 PM GMT
Just Added While developing this site I went to various guru sites and noticed this Blog thing going on. Thought it was a pretty cool idea, but at the same time noticed that many people are getting away from the usings tables within tables within tables approach to web design. It is not a complete pain, but it is diffcult to get things exact testing with more than one browser. But the more I go to sites and have to wait for not only the images to download, but also and more increasingly annoying the table cells to get into their proper place I am more atuned to developing table less sites for now on; or at least in only certain situations. The funny thing is that the philosophy of Jacob Nielsen are finally trickling down into mainstream sites, not ecommerce, but to higher level personal and informational sites. Which reminds me, I need to go through and add some alt tags and other resourses to allow all users to view this information.

Finished the Web Screens, though it looks pretty much the same, now it implements zero tables and is XHTML, CSS, and handicap certified.
I'll try to write the backend programming this weekend, pretty good chance it'll be done.

That is correct, though I just remembered that I need to redo the Heading part. What I wanted to accomplish is to develop a Web Screen just like this one, except with out any Table tags. http://www.joegakenheimer.com/archives/home.htm is something close to what I will be using. It still has some bugs, especially the bleeding in IE, but looks decent in FireFox so if you wanna take a look here it is http://www.joegakenheimer.com/archives/home.htm. Also, the upgrades will allow HTML code to be added, so we can have some fun as well.
Hopefully By Feb. 14th

Yes, hopefully I can get my site redone by Feb 14th because I have some fine tuning to do; which includes using divs exclusively, as well as migrating to XML db and XHTML dtd.
Migrating to XHTML, so trying DIV's

Web Development is quite weird, for about a 7 or 8 month period, the only HTML I have developed have been for personal purposes; and that only accommodated creating my new web site! But I have been writing more and more lately, at least for the past 2 projects. My current project I am migrating classic ASP to the .Net architecture along with re-designing the UI. The specs for the UI are is to accommodate for handicapped web users, so I have been instructed to use Transitional XHTML. Well, I figured I would go the whole way, so I developed the UI in Strict XHTML. Also, I was instructed to not encapsulate any Tables into the code, which basically means: use DIVS. Since the scripting will output Table Data; I, for the first time, am regulated to creating an all DIV site. In basic HTML 4.0 it is a pain, especially for a commercial application, but to use Strict XHTML and to test in multiple browsers can be a nuisance.
But on the brighter side, not only is it the true to learn proper CSS, HTML, and XHTML, but also a nice way to get your hand’s dirty in the process. I do know one thing, if such standards are ever enforced, there’s gonna a be a lot of unhappy campers.
