Tables

[Alison Bateman]

Does anyone have any useful advice on tables? I know very little about them, except that they have a bad reputation. Is this justified? (site I have chosen is littered with them). thanks in advance

This is going to sound obvious, but tables should only be used for presenting tabular data - never use them for overall page layout! Here's an article which explains it very clearly: http://www.noupe.com/how-tos/better-ui-design-proper-use-of-tables.html

Cheers Jim. That's all I need to know. Saw you online there and knew a reply would be coming my way! I'll get reading. Many thanks.
