Tables to CSS

A nice article
May 22, 2003 by Rolf Ernst

I was already familiar with CSS and I knew just about anything in the article itself. However, the idea to create navigation buttons without JavaScript using CSS was pretty neat.

A worthwhile read and worth the couple of bucks.

I will continue checking the article section of this site.

Very good article

I am a beginner at CSS having only done it for a few years and learning most of what I know by reverse engineering other people's work.  And only using the books long enough to accomplish a particular task.

This article brought together a lot of what I did know and taught me a couple very neat tricks I didn't know. Assuming I follow her advice my tables will be consistent, a lot easier to program and maintain, and I won't have to worry about deprecated commands. And I intend to follow her advice on a number of sites that I maintain. Not only because it is good advice but it will make the sites a lot easier to maintain.

The article was easy to read and understand. I think it helps if you have set up a few tables and know how to set CSS attributes in Dreamweaver. It's the kind of article you want to be sitting at your computer in Dreamweaver when you read it but the first two times I read it I wasn't at a computer and there were enough illustrations so make it clear. Well worth the few buck it cost.

Tables to CSS
June 6, 2003 by Pat Meeks

This series is excellent. The only thing I need is to see the completed style sheet after each section. I use TopStyle because I find making styles with DW to too invisible to what the effects are. In a tutorial, following the creation of a style using DW can be confusing, so I'd prefer to see the style sheet and styles at the end of each section. As it is now, if I make a mistake, I have to walk through the entire section step-by-step to see where I messed up. I could get through the tutorials much faster and learn more if I could see the style sheet.

Could you post them?

Thanks, Pat

Where can I download the files needed to work through the "Tables to CSS" article?
Outdated

Seriously outdated. Was expecting discussion of use of divs to replace tables. Even referenced "Macromedia"! Macromedia? Waste of money.
