aspnetguy Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 put valign="top" in all your td tags that way it will always align to the top not int he middle or bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Shinta Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 You know, you can just use divs and CSS... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patriot Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 You know, you can just use divs and CSS...<{POST_SNAPBACK}> yeah stay away from tables unless you reall need to. Just use div's and alin them where you want them, my site isnt the greatest for content but i got rid of the frames and have 2 columns like you want. Navigation on the left and content on the right, then you can use tables inside the content if you want to seperate different things, and everything is on the www.w3schools.com site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Shinta Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 What I don't understand is why W3schools uses a table layout, when it should be supporting div layouts and Semantic HTML. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Now, as a moderator, I'm not allowed to speak on behalf of w3schools.com, but my belief is that it's probably because there are a lot of sites to convert, and it takes a long time to move from tables to divs. It's true, when you start off from scratch, it may be advisable to use divs instead of tables, but it's not necessarily that simple when you have an established site, to make the change...
