在HTML中,表格不应该用于布局,这似乎是普遍的观点。

Why?

我从来没有(老实说,很少)看到过支持这一点的有力论据。通常的答案是:

It's good to separate content from layoutBut this is a fallacious argument; Cliche Thinking. I guess it's true that using the table element for layout has little to do with tabular data. So what? Does my boss care? Do my users care?Perhaps me or my fellow developers who have to maintain a web page care... Is a table less maintainable? I think using a table is easier than using divs and CSS.By the way... why is using a div or a span good separation of content from layout and a table not? Getting a good layout with only divs often requires a lot of nested divs. Readability of the codeI think it's the other way around. Most people understand HTML, few understand CSS. It's better for SEO not to use tablesWhy? Can anybody show some evidence that it is? Or a statement from Google that tables are discouraged from an SEO perspective? Tables are slower.An extra tbody element has to be inserted. This is peanuts for modern web browsers. Show me some benchmarks where the use of a table significantly slows down a page. A layout overhaul is easier without tables, see css Zen Garden.Most web sites that need an upgrade need new content (HTML) as well. Scenarios where a new version of a web site only needs a new CSS file are not very likely. Zen Garden is a nice web site, but a bit theoretical. Not to mention its misuse of CSS.

我对使用divs + CSS而不是表的良好参数非常感兴趣。

超级简单的回答:用表格设计可维护的网站是很困难的,而用标准的方法来做是很简单的。

网站不是一个表格,它是相互交互的组件的集合。把它描述成一个表是没有意义的。

我想这事已经过去了。如果你看看行业的发展方向,你会发现CSS和开放标准是这场讨论的赢家。这反过来意味着对于大多数html工作,除了表单,设计师将使用div而不是表格。我很难做到这一点,因为我不是CSS专家,但事实就是这样。

根据我对表的了解,如果嵌套了太多的表,在呈现页面时浏览器会有很大的开销。

1 -浏览器必须等待呈现最终视图,直到整个表被加载。

2 - The algorithm to render the table is expensive and is not in a single go. The browser, as and when, gets the contents, will try to render calculating the content width and height. So, if you are having nested tables, say, the browser has received the first row and the 1st cell is having large amount of content and width and height not defined, it will calculate the width and will render the first row, In the mean while it gets the 2nd row will cell#2 having loads of content! It will now calculate the width for 2nd row cells.. What about the first ? It will calculate widths recursively. That's bad at client side. (To site an example) As a programmer, you'll optimize stuffs such as time to fetch data, optimized data structures and etc. You optimize things to complete on server side, say in2 secs, but end user in getting the final view in 8 secs. What is wrong here ? 1. May be network is slow! What if network is fine ? What is network is delivering the contents in next 1 sec ? Where is this extra 5 secs getting consumed ? Thing to worry about-- The browser might be taking lot of time in estimating and rendering the tables!

如何优化表? 如果你使用表格,我建议,总是定义单元格的宽度。这并不能保证浏览器会盲目地只取这个宽度,但会对浏览器决定初始宽度有很大的帮助。

但是,最后,div是CSS可以被浏览器缓存的好方法;而表没有缓存!

当您需要确保元素在布局中保持特定的物理关系时,请使用表格。对于数据,表格通常是最适合使用的布局元素,因为您不希望列以超出预期的方式包装,从而混淆了关联。

也有人可能会说,必须保持特定关系的非数据元素也应该呈现在表中。

灵活的css布局非常适合于移动设备、大屏幕、打印和其他显示类型的内容,但有时,内容必须以非常特定的方式显示,如果这要求屏幕阅读器无法轻松访问它,那么它可能是非常合理的。

我想使用表格元素进行布局确实与表格数据没有什么关系。那又怎样?我的老板在乎吗?我的用户关心吗?

谷歌和其他自动化系统确实关心这些问题,而且它们在许多情况下同样重要。语义代码对于非智能系统来说更容易解析和处理。

我不得不用这两种方式来做网站,再加上第三种,可怕的“混合”布局,包括表格、div和样式:div /CSS轻松胜出。

为了匹配一个表格单元格的代码权重,您必须立即嵌套三个深度的div。这种效果会随着嵌套表的增加而扩大。

我也更喜欢做一个布局变化,而不是一个变化,在我的网站的每一页。

我可以完全控制divs/css的各个方面。表格以一种可怕的方式把它搞得一团糟,尤其是在IE浏览器中,我从来没有选择不支持这个浏览器。

我维护或重新设计一个div /css网站的时间只是表格的一小部分。

最后,我可以用CSS和几乎任何脚本语言创新多种可切换的布局。这对我来说是不可能的。

在你做决定的时候,祝你的投资回报率好运。
