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。
有必要弄清楚CSS和div，以便在页面布局中，中央内容列在侧栏之前加载和呈现。但是，如果你正在努力使用浮动div来垂直对齐一个logo和一些赞助文本，那就使用这个表格，继续生活吧。禅宗花园宗教并没有带来多少价值。
将内容与表示分开的思想是对应用程序进行分区，以便不同类型的工作影响不同的代码块。这实际上是关于变更管理的。但是编码标准只能以表面的方式检查代码的当前状态。
应用程序的更改日志依赖于编码标准来“将内容与表示分开”，它将显示跨垂直竖井的并行更改模式。如果对“内容”的更改总是伴随着对“表示”的更改，那么分区的成功程度如何?
如果您真的想高效地划分代码，请使用Subversion并检查更改日志。然后使用最简单的编码技术——divs、表、JavaScript、include、函数、对象、延续等等——来构建应用程序，以便以简单和舒适的方式进行更改。
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!
The issue of strictly separating presentation and content strikes me as roughly analogous to separating header files from implementation files in C++. It makes sense, but it can also be a pain. Witness Java and C# where classes are defined in a single source file. The authors of the newer languages noticed something that was causing programmers headaches and they got rid of it. That seems to be the gist of this discussion. One side is saying CSS is too difficult, the other side is saying one must become a CSS master.
对于简单的布局问题，为什么不改变表示必须完全独立的规则呢?一个新的标签(或者一些div标签的扩展)可以让我们直接在HTML中控制显示?毕竟，我们不是已经将表示泄露到HTML中了吗?看看h1, h2, h6。我们都知道这些控制表示。
阅读代码(HTML就是代码)的能力非常重要。专家们往往忽略了使编程环境尽可能为大众所接受的重要性。认为只有专业程序员才重要是非常短视的。
