Thought I'd also give some interesting info I found: http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=TableDesign However, CSS has its own kind of tables: [display types] <http://www.google.com/url?sa=D&q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2FTR%2FREC-CSS2%2Fvisuren.html%23propdef-display> that exist specifically in order to make table-based layouts without using HTML table elements.
& http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/visuren.html#propdef-display 9.2.5 The 'display' <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/visuren.html#propdef-display> property 'display' Value: inline | block | list-item | run-in | compact | marker | table | inline-table | table-row-group | table-header-group | table-footer-group | table-row | table-column-group | table-column | table-cell | table-caption | none | inherit <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/cascade.html#value-def-inherit> Initial: inline Applies to: all elements Inherited: no Percentages: N/A Media: all <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/media.html#all-media-group> The values of this property have the following meanings: block This value causes an element to generate a principal block box. inline This value causes an element to generate one or more inline boxes. list-item This value causes an element (e.g., LI in HTML) to generate a principal block box and a list-item inline box. For information about lists and examples of list formatting, please consult the section on lists <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/generate.html#lists>. marker This value declares generated content <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/generate.html> before or after a box to be a marker. This value should only be used with :before and :after pseudo-elements <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/generate.html#before-after-content> attached to block-level elements. In other cases, this value is interpreted as 'inline'. Please consult the section on markers <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/generate.html#markers> for more information. none This value causes an element to generate no boxes in the formatting structure <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/intro.html#formatting-structure> (i.e., the element has no effect on layout). Descendant elements do not generate any boxes either; this behavior cannot be overridden by setting the 'display' <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/visuren.html#propdef-display> property on the descendants. Please note that a display of 'none' does not create an invisible box; it creates no box at all. CSS includes mechanisms that enable an element to generate boxes in the formatting structure that affect formatting but are not visible themselves. Please consult the section on visibility <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/visufx.html#visibility> for details. run-in and compact These values create either block or inline boxes, depending on context. Properties apply to run-in and compact boxes based on their final status (inline-level or block-level). For example, the 'white-space' <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/text.html#propdef-white-space> property only applies if the box becomes a block box. table, inline-table, table-row-group, table-column <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/tables.html#value-def-table-column>, table-column-group, table-header-group, table-footer-group, table-row, table-cell, and table-caption These values cause an element to behave like a table element (subject to restrictions described in the chapter on tables <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/tables.html>). Note that although the initial value <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/cascade.html#initial-value> of 'display' <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/visuren.html#propdef-display> is 'inline', rules in the user agent's default style sheet <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/cascade.html#default-style-sheet> may override <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/cascade.html> this value. See the sample style sheet <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/sample.html> for HTML 4.0 in the appendix. Example(s): Here are some examples of the 'display' <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/visuren.html#propdef-display> property: P { display: block } EM { display: inline } LI { display: list-item } IMG { display: none } /* Don't display images */ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
