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。

作为纯布局使用的表格确实会带来一些可访问性问题(我听说过)。但我理解这里被问到的问题,你正在通过使用表格来确保页面上某些东西的正确对齐来破坏网络。

我以前听到有人说,FORM标签和输入实际上是数据,应该允许它们进入表。

使用一个表来确保一些元素正确排列会导致代码大量增加,这种说法往往包含了单个DIV如何满足所有需求的示例。他们不总是包括10行CSS和特殊的浏览器技巧,他们必须为IE5、IE5.5、IE6、IE7……

我认为这仍然是关于在你的设计中使用平衡。表格在工具箱里,记住它们是干什么用的……

我曾经了解到,一个表是立即加载的,换句话说,当连接很慢的时候,表所在的空间保持空白,直到整个表被加载,另一方面,一个div加载从上到下的速度与数据到达的速度一样快,不管它是否已经完成。

围绕语义标记的整个思想是标记和表示的分离,其中包括布局。

Div并没有取代表,它们在将内容分离为相关内容块(,)方面有自己的用途。当您不具备这些技能并且依赖于表格时,您通常必须将内容分离到单元格中以获得所需的布局,但是在使用语义标记时,您不需要触摸标记来实现表示。在生成标记而不是静态页面时,这一点非常重要。

开发人员需要停止提供暗示布局的标记,以便我们这些拥有显示内容技能的人能够继续工作,并且开发人员不必在表示需要更改时返回他们的代码进行更改。

无论如何,这并不是一个明确的论点,但是对于CSS,你可以使用相同的标记并根据介质改变布局,这是一个很好的优势。例如,对于打印页面,您可以安静地抑制导航,而不必创建打印机友好的页面。

I have found that even with the best planning divs come up short in several respects. For instance. there is no way with divs to have a bottom bar that always sits at the bottom of the browser, even when the rest of the content does not go to the bottom of the browser. Also, you cannot elegantly do anything better than three columns, and you cannot have columns that grow and shrink according the the width of their content. In the end, we try to use divs first. However, we will not limit our html designs based on some religious content vs layout ideal.

显而易见的答案:参见CSS Zen Garden。如果你告诉我你可以很容易地用基于表格的布局做同样的事情(记住- HTML没有改变),那么无论如何都要使用表格来布局。

另外两个重要的事情是可访问性和搜索引擎优化。

两者都关心信息以何种顺序呈现。如果基于表格的布局将导航放在页面上第二个嵌套表格的第2行的第3个单元格中,则无法轻松地将导航显示在页面顶部。

所以你的答案是可维护性,可访问性和SEO。

不要偷懒。即使事情有点难学,也要用正确的方式去做。
