CSS => Replacement for a dynamic table?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jun 12.2005

Hi all! I am using php to output data a row at a time. The number of rows is not fixed but depends on the amount of data. Is it possible to produce similar output with CSS without using tables at all? Also number of columns may change from one table to another.

Here is the table:

[code=php]
<table border=”1″ cellspacing=”0″ cellpadding=”6″>
<tr><th>Nameserver</th><th>TTL</th><th>Record</tr></tr>
<tr><td> a.gtld-servers.net </td><td> 172800</td><td> 192.5.6.30 </td></tr>
<tr><td> g.gtld-servers.net </td><td> 172800</td><td> 192.42.93.30 </td></tr>
</table>
[/code]

@bokehauthorJun 12.2005 — Thanks for that! Is this compatible with XHTML 1.0 Strict?

@BonRougeJun 12.2005 — This is better and it validates. You could also take the border attribute out of the table tag and paint your borders with css...
[code=html]<table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="6">
<thead>
<tr><th>Nameserver</th><th>TTL</th><th>Record</th></tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr><td> a.gtld-servers.net </td><td> 172800</td><td> 192.5.6.30 </td></tr>
<tr><td> g.gtld-servers.net </td><td> 172800</td><td> 192.42.93.30 </td></tr>
</tbody>
</table>[/code]

I was wondering about those, but if you go here : http://bonrouge.com/test/1-strictx-dtd.htm and validate that page, you'll see they pass.
