Why does this matter and why are we wasting bandwidth and time on this discussion? I'm sure that most people would agree that there are just some things in web development that are left up to the developer to choose and that there are almost always more than one way to do something? Why even make a big deal about it?
Since I'm on my soap box, my other beef is people on this list who don't answer questions, but instead, ask "why are you doing it that way?". It's happened more than once today already and I feel bad for those asking the questions, because they are looking at a solution. In some cases, it's good to offer alternative ways of doing things but, at least offer a possible answer to the question and THEN suggest another way of doing it. Responding with "why aren't you doing it this way instead?" and not evening offering an answer to the question can be very disappointing to a developer who has already banged their head against the wall for several minutes, hours or days before making themselves vulnerable by asking a question in an open forum like this. They sure don't need sarcastic remarks and/or time wasting remarks. Okay, I'm off my soap box now. :) Dave Phillips -----Original Message----- From: Claude Schneegans [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2008 12:55 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Outputting columned UL tags >>then HTML tables are best used for database type information. No doubt about that. But the question here is "should I use a table to output a list if I want it to look like a table", my answer is definitely YES. The only purpose on HTML is to define the layout of a page. If your layout requires something, coming from a database or not, to be a table, the the TABLE tag is the choice. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:311008 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
