Table vs Div

  • I am new to WP. I am developing a website using WP with ‘Div’ base. But my friends are told me to use ‘Table’.

    I dont know which one is good to use.

    Anyone can you explain me on this…

  • As a rule I use div’s for everything except tabled content.

    Tables are also handy for cross browser vertical aligning.

    But for the main page structure use div’s, tables being used for page structure is dated now.

    pandi – ignore anyone who suggests to use tables for anything other than presenting tabular data – their knowledge is many years out of date. If you have any doubts have a look at Jeffrey Zeldman’s book ‘designing with web standards’or Paul Boag’s article from 2004: https://boagworld.com/dev/a-better-way-to-build-your-website/

    Thank you so much lee and cubecolour. If we are using ‘Div’ in wordpress pages, how easy it will be for the end client to make content changes in wordpress.

    Clients should never change structure, you can easily give them the power to change the content.

    Have a look at this (the last site I made with WP) https://jasprint.com

    Every single piece of text and every single image is editable by the client but the structure is not (nor should it be)
