web designers: is it better to use tables or css grids? - GoFuckYourself.com

clickhappy · 04-20-2013, 06:03 PM

when you design sites do you use grids, or html tables for the layout?

jawanda · 04-20-2013, 06:20 PM

Been a web designer for 16 years ... just had to look up 'CSS grids'. Lolz. I use divs

Every project is a combination of floated divs, inline-blocks, absolute-positioned elements, and quite often even a static element or two.

Dankasaur · 04-20-2013, 06:36 PM

Tables are for tabular data.

Vendzilla · 04-20-2013, 06:41 PM

divs, no tables

CyberHustler · 04-20-2013, 07:06 PM

depends.....

Mr Pheer · 04-20-2013, 07:31 PM

Divs are better, but I can do tables so much faster.

Just depends on what I'm doing and how much of a hurry I am in at the moment.

Real men use tables, frames, and copious amounts of animated .gifs for web design.

Quoted for truth

I've been designing sites for thirteen years and I've always used tables and divs. No CSS grids for me. Hell, I don't even know what a CSS grid is. Doh!

Any decent designer and coder knows how to use divs for tabular data. Furthermore, divs allows to do things with tabular data in advanced UI/UX that are simply impossible with tables

Tables are for tabular data, what the deuce are you doing with your tabular data, that tables are not needed but instead you style divs to mimic tables for?

OK, I'll tell W3C to ditch the following, they were wrong since 2004

Quote:

[table-header-group|table-footer-group] These values cause the element to behave like the corresponding THEAD and TFOOT HTML table elements which these values take their name from.
table These values cause the element to behave like the corresponding HTML table element which these values take their name from. The ?inline-table? value does not have a direct mapping in HTML.
inline-table These values cause the element to behave like the corresponding HTML table element which these values take their name from. The ?inline-table? value does not have a direct mapping in HTML.
table-caption These values cause the element to behave like the corresponding HTML table element which these values take their name from. The ?inline-table? value does not have a direct mapping in HTML.
table-cell These values cause the element to behave like the corresponding HTML table element which these values take their name from. The ?inline-table? value does not have a direct mapping in HTML.
table-row|table-row-group These values cause the element to behave like the corresponding HTML table element which these values take their name from. The ?inline-table? value does not have a direct mapping in HTML.
table-column|table-column-group These values cause the element to behave like the corresponding HTML table element which these values take their name from. The ?inline-table? value does not have a direct mapping in HTML.

sorry for the confusion, I thought these idiots knew what were they talking about, my bad

Scary that designers say they dont know what a css grid is.
so you´ve never looked at 960 or anything similar.

I know with responsive, the grid isn´t as useful as it used to be, but a good % based grid is still a good place to start.

HomerSimpson · 04-21-2013, 03:40 AM

divs - smaller html, easier to maintain and modify... css can sometimes be a bitch but once you figure things out it will work just good...

Responsiveness and grid design patterns are fully tied. The grid comes necessary in the boostrap phase of project then responsiveness is done with CSS and Media Queries.

It's from 2007, too new for adult industry. We'll get there though. In the meanwhile....
