CSS layout vs Table layout

Hi Guys,

We have decided to go with Click web framework lately and I must say that we
are quite impressed by the simplicity and the ease of development that the
framework offers. The only thing that we are encountring and it is being
raised by our web UI expert is the use of Tables for layout instead of CSS
layouts, which we thought would be adressed in the M2 release (looked alos ate
the ClickClick project and I can see that you are still using Tables even for
the GridLayout control).

My question is why is it that yuo are still using those tables instaed of CSS
layouts??

Having said that, thank you for the great framework.

Best Regards

Hi Khalef,

Are you talking about using div elements to replace table elements?

It is possible to create different layouts but we won't be changing
the default layout of Form as it would break existing apps.

That said we have added a BasicForm that can be laid out using CSS;
see the example below:

Browsers don't always support CSS very well. If you look at the above
example, you will note the conditional include for IE. :)

On the other hand Tables are supported on all browsers and using it as
a grid works out well.

What kind of problems are you guys running into with the Table layout?

kind regards

bob

Hi Guys,

Yes, using Div's as an example. Reading few articles about the subject
everyone is advicing for the use of CSS layout with DIv's??.

I myself (far from being the best web developer in the world) used tables for
layout only few months ago on another project. However, the requirements this
time differ and there are accessibility issues with using tables.

Best Regards
