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。

使用表格布局的工具可能会因为创建布局所需的大量代码而变得异常沉重。SAP的Netweaver Portal默认使用TABLE来布局页面。

在我目前的工作中,生产SAP门户有一个主页,它的HTML超过60K,有7个表那么深,在页面中有3次。再加上Javascript,误用了16个iframe,其中有类似的表格问题,CSS过重等,页面重量超过5MB。

花点时间降低页面重量,这样你就可以利用带宽与用户进行互动,这是值得的。

几年前,我研究了屏幕阅读器和表格的问题,得出了与大多数开发者想法相矛盾的信息:

你可能会听到一些易访问性倡导者说布局表是一个坏主意,应该使用CSS布局技术。他们说的有道理,但是,老实说,在可访问性方面,使用表格进行布局并不是最糟糕的事情。只要桌子在设计时考虑到可访问性,各种残疾的人都可以轻松地使用桌子。”

WYSIWYG!!! I can't for the life of me get our designers to stop using nested DIVS and styled by elementID css in templates that are supposed to be used by clients in CMS projects. That's the whole point of a WYSIWYG online editor. You are controlling both the content and the layout at the same time! There is no separation at all in the first place in this scenario. Positioned and styled Divs in some external stylesheet are anathema to the whole idea of WYSIWYG editing. Tables can be seen, rows inserted, cells combined and so on. Good luck trying this with divs in a way that doesn't frustrate users.

Flex有一个标签,用于在垂直列中布局内容。说实话,我不认为他们在布局/内容方面做得很好,但至少他们已经解决了这个问题。

像许多对CSS感到沮丧的人一样,我也到处寻找一个简单的答案,当我以为我找到了它时,我感到兴奋,然后当我在Chrome中打开页面时,我的希望破灭了。我肯定没有足够的技能说这是不可能的,但我还没有看到任何人提供样本代码供同行评审,明确地证明它可以可靠地完成。

那么,这个岛的CSS方面有人能推荐一种布局垂直列的心态/方法吗?我尝试过在第二行和第三行绝对定位,但我最终与到处重叠的东西和浮动有类似的问题,如果页面缩小。

如果这个问题有答案,我会欣喜若狂地做正确的事情——只要告诉我一些像“嘿,你试过**流:垂直|水平”这样的事情,我就完全不烦你了。

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!

通过仍然使用表格布局,我们错过了在div方面的创新。

许多人提出了解决方案,使创建布局的divs更容易。最流行的是网格架构。有基于此体系结构的动态布局生成器。查看: 1) 960。Gs和(http://grids.heroku.com/) 2)蓝图 最近也是如此。

在架构和表格布局工具方面,我还没有看到太多创新。

我想说,撇开所有的理论,实际上布局与CSS和div更快。相反,在这个方向上的创新使它变得更容易。
