You are correct that what I showed in the other thread as a two column
layout was anything but.
It should be as follows:
div.one {width:50px; height:50px; float:left;}
div.two {width:50px; height:50px;}
<div class="one">hello</div>
<div class="two">world</div>
The difference between becoming rows or columns is the float attribute.
The addition of another division below the second one results in a new row.
If float was included in the second divison attributes, a third division
would create a third column.
With respect to the poster whose question started this argument, I still
contend that divisons are an alternate method of displaying content
regardless of it being tabular data or not.
All browsers AFAIK, are required to handle tables. They are not required to
handle CSS and divisions.
IMNSHO, I feel it is user's discretion as to which to use for presentation.
If we negate all the nasty no no's this group of so called experts insist
upon NOT doing, what do we have to left to work with but standard, basic,
html.
I say bullshit. If the writer wishes it to be that way, then who are you to
tell him otherwise?
If someone wants to use javascript, why do you badmouth that person so much?
Why don't you bitch and whine to sites like www.download.com? Ever seen
their source code? Nothing but tables. Oh and they use javascript too.
Oh and how about www.microsoft.com ? Again, all tables.
So let's have you give Mr. Bill Gates highly paid experts a piece of your
mind and tell them they're not allowed to use tables or javascript. And do
be sure to refer them to your sources of information.
Now where's all your fancy work to show us at huh?
