Re: 2 divs on same line

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Tables won't be deprecated.

Tables (when used as a way to perform the overall layout) are quite rigid
and generally obscurs a bit the HTML source for the document.
Divs are likely more difficult to get right but you can change easily the
position without changing the HTML structure.

You'll see numerous discussions abotu their respective avantage/disavantage.

My intention is not to start yet another useless discussion. Just pick the
design your prefer...

I am a developer primarily, not a web designer but i am able to do both. I
agree i did all previous sites with table designs and it does seem the new
'best way' changes all the time. But for fear of a new 'All improved IE!'
being released that depricates tables in some form i want to ensure i am
always on the latest techniques because you just never know what the future
holds.

For years I have not been able to understand what's wrong with table
layout. May be because I am an application developer as opposed to a web
designer. Tables let your make a simple and neat layout and concentrate
on your application tasks. I guess web designers can achieve more with
tableless css. I prefer to leave it up to them. As far as I, the
developer, am concerned there is no reason to avoid tables.

If you want to impress someone by having a table-less css layout, be
prepare to spend next few days on learning and practicing.

If you want a simple and reliable solution, use tables.

And yes, by default a div will render on a separate line.

Hi

i have a requirement for the following layout in my masterpage:

1 div for header
1 div for footer

Between those divs i want a div for the left menu, then a div for the
content in the center, then inside each i will place a content holder
for other pages to inherit off

My problem is a div creates a new line? And everyone says not to use
tables anymore, so how do you get that look with css?

Thanks
