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。
当我使用CSS设计我的布局时,我通常给每个主要部分都有自己的根(主体级别)div,并使用相对/绝对定位将其置于适当的位置。这比表更灵活一些,因为我不局限于可以用行和列表示的排列。
此外,如果我决定我想要重新安排布局(说我想要导航栏现在在右边),我可以简单地去改变一个地方(CSS文件)的元素位置,HTML不需要改变。如果我对表执行此操作,我将不得不进入并找到信息,并进行大量属性修改和复制粘贴以获得相同的效果。
事实上,使用CSS,我甚至可以让我的用户选择他们想要的布局如何工作。只要内容区域的一般大小不改变,我完全可以使用一些PHP脚本来根据用户的偏好输出CSS,并允许他们根据自己的喜好重新排列站点。同样,对于表也是可以的,但是维护起来要困难得多。
最后,CSS提供了一个表永远无法提供的主要好处:基于显示设备重新格式化内容的能力。CSS允许我在打印机上使用与显示器上完全不同的样式集(包括位置、格式等)。这也可以扩展到其他媒体,一个很好的例子是Opera Show,它允许一个设计巧妙(非常标准)的CSS增强页面被视为幻灯片显示。
因此,最终,灵活性和管理才是真正的赢家。一般来说,CSS允许你对布局做更多的事情。基于表的布局在技术上没有什么不标准的,但为什么要限制自己呢?
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。
