Something like a forum is obviously organized in a tabular fashion, so tables would be the preferred method to construct it. Printing out rows in a table with a for() or while() loop is a lot easier than printing out divs, since rows fall into place after one another, while divs need margining and css to properly do that. |

Tables are for tabular data. Yes.
Divs are far more flexible since they do nothing. You just modify their position and things with CSS. |

Tables are not out of date. When laying things out in a table format, tables are preferred to divs. |

i believe he wants it so he can make his page more HTML complaint instead of using out of date tables... |

You mean div tags, or tables? It sounds like tables are what you're looking for. |

I was wondering if you could have div tags align like the board index... say I have a while loop and I want it to make rows of certain items... is there a way to do this with div tags and have the multiple rows... I've yet to see any examples... so  ...
I've tried multiple ways and I can't seem to find one either |
