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。

另外,别忘了,表格在移动浏览器上的渲染效果并不好。当然,iPhone拥有强大的浏览器,但并不是每个人都有iPhone。对于现代浏览器来说,表呈现可能是花生,但对于移动浏览器来说,它却是一堆西瓜。

我个人发现很多人使用了太多的<div>标记,但如果适当,它可以非常干净且易于阅读。你提到人们阅读CSS比阅读表格更困难;就“代码”而言,这可能是真的;但是在读取内容方面(查看>源代码),用样式表理解结构要比用表容易得多。

我很抱歉我的英语不好,但还有一个原因:

我在一些政府机构工作,不使用TABLE的首要原因是残疾人。他们使用机器“翻译”网页。

问题是这个“翻译机器”不能阅读网站,如果它是由TABLE。为什么?因为TABLE是用于数据的。

事实上,如果你使用TABLES,你必须为每个cell指定一些信息,让残疾人知道他们在TABLE中的位置。想象一下,你有一个大表格,必须放大才能看到屏幕上的一个单元格:你必须知道你在哪一行/col。

因此,使用DIV,并且禁用可以简单地阅读文本,并且不会得到一些关于行/cols的奇怪信息,当它们不需要在那里时。

我也更喜欢TABLE来制作快速简单的模板,但我现在习惯了CSS…它很强大,但你真的必须知道你在做什么……:)

内容和布局之间的分离也使它更容易为您的网站生成打印机友好的布局或不同的皮肤(样式),而不必创建不同的html文件。有些浏览器(如Firefox)甚至支持从视图菜单中选择样式表。

而且我确实认为保持无表格布局更容易。你不需要担心行span, colspan等等。您只需创建一些容器div并将内容放置在需要的位置。也就是说,我认为它也更有可读性(<div id="sidebar"> vs <tr><td>…</td><td>…<td>sidebar</td></tr>)。

这只是一个你必须学会的小“技巧”(一旦你掌握了这个技巧,我认为它会更容易,更有意义)。

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。

一张桌子来布置也不错。但大多数情况下,仅靠一张表是无法得到所需的布局的。很快你就有了2到3个嵌套表。这变得非常麻烦。

It IS a LOT harder to read. That's not up to opinion. There's just more nested tags with no identifying marks on them. Separating content from presentation is a good thing because it allows you to focus on what you're doing. Mixing the two leads to bloated pages that are hard to read. CSS for styles allows your browser to cache the files and subsequent requests are much faster. This is HUGE. Tables lock you into a design. Sure, not everyone needs the flexibility of CSS Zen Garden, but I've never worked on a site where I didn't need to change the design a little bit here and there. It's much easier with CSS. Tables are hard to style. You don't have very much flexibility with them (i.e. you still need to add HTML attributes to fully control a table's styles)

我大概有4年没有用表格来处理非表格数据了。我没有回头。

我真的很想建议你阅读Andy Budd的《CSS Mastery》。棒极了。
