Tabellendesgin out - Was dann ?

[Armin G.]

Tach auch,

http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/tables.html#h-11.1:
»Tables should not be used purely as a means to layout document content ...«
In HTML 4 rudern die Leuts des W3C bekanntlich wieder zurück.

Also, so richtig aufschlussreich und definitiv finde ich das nicht. Zitieren wir mal das ganze:

"Tables should not be used purely as a means to layout document content as this may present problems when rendering to non-visual media. Additionally, when used with graphics, these tables may force users to scroll horizontally to view a table designed on a system with a larger display. To minimize these problems, authors should use style sheets to control layout rather than tables"

Irgendwie sehe ich nicht wieso das nicht genauso auf CSS Positionierung zutrifft, wenn man den Text mal ein bisschen anpasst:

"CSS positioning should not be used purely as a means to layout document content as this may present problems when rendering to non-visual media. Additionally, when used with graphics, CSS positioning may force users to scroll horizontally to view a layout designed on a system with a larger display. To minimize these problems, authors should use CSS positioning carefully to control layout rather than creating inflexible layouts"

Irgendwie alles fast das gleiche. Was lerne ich daraus? Auch das W3C hat die Weisheit nicht mit Loeffeln gegessen.

Gruss,
Armin
