Choosing div vs table layout

Me again, hello.
I'd like to get your perspectives on the debate between <table>s and <div>s in CSS.
Over and over I've read the proponents of <div>s vs those of <table>s, and what I've taken away is:
"If you have a lot of tabular data, use a <table>, if not, use <div>s."
"Tables inside of tables are a big problem"
So I'll give you a specific example
Here is a mockup of a simple series of <div>s.
The large one on the right will be for a photo.
The other 12 <div>s will be for textual data.
http://www.heartinstitutehd.com/php/testingcsslayout.htm
I've done exactly the same layout using a table with rowspan="3" for the picture.
In your opinion(s), what are the pros and cons of using <div> vs <table> in this particular example?
For noobs such as myself, here's the code:

"Tables inside of tables are a big problem"
That's really not true. Tables inside of tables is wasteful, and troublesome since it creates LOTS of markup that gets in the way of troublshooting, and that adds to the weight of the page. It's not uncommon to find tables nested 7 or 8 deep on pages that use tables for layout. You will rarely find such contorted structures on CSS pages. What makes tables within tables big trouble and even dangerous is when those tables contain lots of colspans and rowspans. This leads to relative unstable structures that will figuratively explode if someone bumps up the text size on the page.
My critique of your page is that you have assigned heights to those elements. While I recognize that you may be doing that for effect, it's never a good idea - let the contents determine the height - you risk overflow problems when you don't.
And finally, I have used tables on a page perhaps three times in the last year. All three times were to present tabular data. While tables can be an important tool in your toolbag when you need to use them, I'd avoid them for any other uses.

Is there an RI that uses div s for layout instead of table s?

I am using Struts Tiles, DWR, script.acu.lous drag and drop and JSF.
So, my problem is that since I have incorporated <f:verbatim>, the page is being rendered incorrectly and I don't know how to recombine it back to look like it should. The layout I am doing has a header at top, left hand column for navigation and content well in the middle. Essentially, this boils down to, in JSF, a table row with one table data element for the header and one table row with two table data elements for the nav and content. In the content well, it utlizes a JSF subview with JSF components and then below this a JSF subview with a JSF <f:verbatim>. On the pages that I don't use <f:verbatim>, the layout renders correctly. The rendering problem is that when the markup is rendered, the <f:verbatim> tag is rendered outside the <f:view> with the other JSF subview in the content rendered correctly in the layout. In other words, the whole page except the <f:verbatim> is rendered in a <table>. I understand, from an onjava article, the JSP and JSF rendering occurs in parallel and I am guessing this might be the problem. The page is rendering now with the header in the right place, the nav not behaving like it used to but in the correct place, the portion of the content that is a bunch of JSF components is located to the right of the nav. The <f:verbatim> that should be rendered directly below the JSF components on the content page and to the right of the nav is rendered under both the nav and JSF components outside the <table>.
Is there a RI that uses divs to do layout instead of tables?
OR
How can I get the <f:verbatim> back into the flow of the page so everything is lined up correctly?
Please feel free to yell at me if this is addressed in another thread. I will search for it if this is the case. I haven't had the time to do a thorough search.

sidenote: Using tables for layout is not considered good web design. There are plenty of sites that illustrate use of CSS for layout. I find this a little strange since Sun is always promoting best practices and then it doesn't embrace other industry best practices. This seems more like a MS bullying tactic, but maybe Sun and MS are one in the same.

Cool. That is a great move. The only concern I have now is that there aren't any containers out that support JSP 2.1 and Servlet 2.5 to enable JSF 1.2 except for glassfish. I am using tomcat and not a heavy weight application server. I couldn't find a roadmap on Apache either for Tomcat to know when they will be coming out with Tomcat 6 I imagine. Is there an article or tutorials out yet that demonstrate how to markup a page with the new specification? That yould help. The more I think about using custom components, the more I lean towards using the standard.
Thanks for the heads up. Now I have to think about setting up glassfish and migrating from tomcat unless there is other news I am unaware of =P.

Problem with Div and table

I have a table that contains data parsed for a weather station page. It also has a webcam picture on the page. Up until now, the webcam pic has loaded via an applet but I want to change that to a jquery slideshow so it's accessible to more mobile devices.   My problem is that no matter what I do (aside from putting a 5x240 spacer) I can't get the table data to display below the webcam div (id="featured"). I've put the webcam and data table in their own div, the webcam's div in the table, used clear:both on the divs, tried setting block size, but it's like nothing is working.   So I'm back to go and thought I'd post it here since there are so many folks here who know more about this than me. This is the html, right now with no CSS classes or anything added. So whatever you would suggest as far as div and/or table layout and any CSS would be appreciated.

Of course as soon as I posted that, I found the error of my ways. I had forgotten to set containerheight:   on my .js script for 'div#featured'
Arrrghh, why couldn't I have realized that a hour ago!!!

Divs in page layout

Hi.
I want to control my layout using divs rather than tables. I have tried to replace the table layout with divs but the portal file refuses to render the layout i Workshop Studio. I have read a couple of places that divs may be used but I have not been able to find any samples.
Anyone managed this or anyone able to give me a hint in this matter?
We use WLP 10 by the way.
-Ronny

If i can not have or maintain concistancy on all pages with DWTs then what other tool would allow us to maintain certain desired material on the whole website.
In other words trying to restrict change of certain div and styles but in the mean time modified like the mainContent boddy by adding more DIV and sprys and styles... IDK if you understand..
Ive also been strugling on this. I don't wish to update page by page on the future...

Dynamic table layout in Smartform

Hi,
Is there a way to have a dynamic table layout in smartform?
The idea is to be able to print any kind of table with fieldsymbols without having to define the table layout/cell layout at design time, or if it's not possible choose one of the predefined line types at runtime. Please don't post how to print out a table using fieldsymbols, this is not the topic of this question.
So I guess you'd need to choose the table line type at runtime or even better, create a table line type at runtime. Is this even possible?
Thanks

hi
good
Tables
You can include static and dynamic tables into a Smart Form. Dynamic tables enable you to display tables whose size is determined only at the moment of their output by the number of the table items to be displayed. Table functions are:
·        Line feeds in individual table cells
·        Event-controlled output of table headings and footers
·        Integrated calculation of grand totals and subtotals
·        Colored boxes and shadings in tables

Chagning the color used to display table layout

Hello Guys,
Can i change the background color used to display the table layout in KM? Where do we specify these settings? Is it possible to modify existing layouts?

Hi Neil,
In the config UI, you can change the "Row Background Style" for the Table Collection Renderer. Typically, you would duplicate the ConsumerTableCollectionRenderer and make your custom settings to the copy. Make sure to click "Show Advanced Options" to see this property. This does not let you explicitly set the color, but allows you to choose the coloring schme. To change the colors, you would need to change them for all tables. Alternatively, you could also change the iView background. It is also possible to change the "Column Header Coloring", but I think this only affects lists, I do not think it affects the table collection renderer, but you might try it. If you just want to just play around, you can set the rendering properties in the Presentation page in Details for an individual folder. This is generally the quickest way to figure out what to set to achieve what you want. I know I am missing some of the specifics you asked, but you should find those answers in the normal documentation. I just wanted to let you know that you could change the scheme - where you have alternating, separator lines, etc.

Darin

In BI Publisher RTF table layout issue for invoice printing

Hi,
I am working on check printing and invoice printing project on bi publisher and i am facing one issue. That is i have used section break on check priting so because of that if the the records are more than 20 then check will print on second page and on first page there would be void printed othervise it should print on first page only. In this case the preprinted stationary is not having invoice table form. we are using blank preprinted stationary to print this .
Now i have done with invoice and cheque layout but in output if the number of records are more than 20 then its going to second page but the problem is that invoice table break into two parts and and the end lineof table layout is not coming on first page .even on second page i am not getting start layout line to make complete table outline.
I want that full table layouton both the pages of the table. i have tried to to create table skeleton and used it as a watermark to print all the records on it but it is coming in to the middle of the page .so it not working.
Please anyone knows the solution on this problem please let me know or share your thoughts on this issue.
As i have tried many options but still stuck into this issue .Kindly help me.
Regards,
Prachi G.

Hmmm ... sounds like a regression bug.
I would contact support, provide, the version you are using, layout template, sample XML data, 2000 RTF output and 2003 RTF output and ask them to investigate.

Problem with "Row-specific or Cascading Lists in Table Layout"

Hello, friends!
I have read article "Row-specific or Cascading Lists in Table Layout" written by Steven Davelaar. I have maked several table layouts with this technique and it worked fine.
But now I have one problem, and this problem is very strange. One of VOs for which I use this table layouts throw exception after commit changes on first LOV attribute (Deptno). First time it was error
(oracle.jbo.ReadOnlyAttrException) JBO-27008: for atribute mgrList
at oracle.jbo.AttrValException.<init>(AttrValException.java:112)
     at oracle.jbo.ReadOnlyAttrException.<init>(ReadOnlyAttrException.java:40)
     at oracle.jbo.server.ViewRowImpl.setAttribute(ViewRowImpl.java:815)
     at oracle.jbo.jbotester.JboTesterUtil.setData(JboTesterUtil.java:173)
Then I setted updateable property of MgrList attribute to always and now i have this error:
oracle.jbo.domain.DataCreationException: JBO-25009: Cannot create an object of type:java.util.List with value:[{}]
     at oracle.jbo.domain.TypeFactory.get(TypeFactory.java:721)
     at oracle.jbo.domain.TypeFactory.getInstance(TypeFactory.java:85)
I don't know why, but all worked fine yestarday. And same code works fine for another VOs. And article Test application works fine too.
Help me, please.
Thank you.

How to add a table layout in CRM Sales order?

dear all ,
anyone know how to add a table layout in CRM sales order customer tab that using the EEWB added?
can EEWB do this? i didn't find the appropriate business object......

Hi , Swapna
is you mail address right? can not send out.
first , you should have added one field using EEWB , then to EEWB , find the extension , double click on the task, there you will find a "object list" on the right, the list will give you many many very important information , you should look through .
then double click on the "screen: ..........EEW......." , layout , there you will find the field you have added in . and you can draw anything you want there , then back to the screen flow , write you flow logic in PBO and PAI .
about the global data definition, again to the "object list", you will find a "Report source code: ......................TOP". in there ,you can define all you data .
another thing if you want to save your input field to database tables that you draw (not by EEWB added)
two ways:
1. write update table directly in PAI module .
2. you can use this BADI : ORDER_SAVE , this is when you save the order to trigger the save action.

Error when trying to save in Table Layout

Hi,
I am using
JDeveloper 10.1.3.1.0.3984 and
JHeadstart 10.1.3.1 release 10.1.3.1.26
I have some groups with Table and Form layout.
In some table layout - Multi-Row Update is allowed.
In those table layouts, if I want to save after update then it gives and error in Internet Explorer dialogue box:
Line: 469
Char: 5
Error: Object doesn't support this action
Code: 0
I tried byr removing the group from Application Definition file and adding it again, but it was not fixed.
Does anybody have any idea why it may happen?
Thanks

Hi,
It seems like a javascript error, probably from client side validation of faces components. Are you using a supported browser? Have a look here
http://blogs.oracle.com/jheadstart/2007/12/supported_browsers_for_adf_fac.html
This is probably not a JHeadstart specific problem, could you try to create the same page using ADF drag and drop and see if the problem persist. Also please post your question on the jdeveloper forum: JDeveloper and ADF
Kind regards,

Upgrading E1 from 8.12 tools 8.97.2.1 to 9.0.2 tools -need db table layouts

Where can I find a net change E1 812 vs. E1 9.0.2 document regarding specifically database table layouts when considering table conversion. For example, if the table layout for the F0911 table in E1 9.0.2 has changed as compared to the same in E1 8.12 with respect to added fields, deleted fields, changed fields, etc.

How to get the sum of a column in a table layout region

i have page table layout region and i have many rows in that ...i have a column say xyz now i want the sum of all xyz in all rows ...is that possible ..if it is how..????
please help me out in this issues...so that i can proceed further with my work..im stuck otu here....if the solution r there in the devguide please tell me where it is ..i mean under which section...bcoz it 1400page document...

If you are mentioning about table/advanced table region you can enable totalling in those regions. Please check the Table / Advanced Table section as appropriate in Chapter 4 of the dev guide.
If it is not a table / advancedTable then you will have to programmatically total the column value and display it in the appropriate cell.

Moving Columns in Table Layout

Hi,
I'm newbie to Disco.Is there any short cut to move columns the way we want in Table Layout or we've to manually move column by column?
Thanks,
Kiran

Hi,
I'm newbie to Disco.Is there any short cut to move columns the way we want in Table Layout or we've to manually move column by column?Not really, though it is often helpful to drag the columns you want to move into page items first before dragging them down to place required in the table layout.
