CSS based calendar, anyone?

CSS based calendar layout

[craig1972]

hello,

i am looking for some help with a calendar layout. i have this php code -- [cascade.org.uk...] -- but this is done using tables. i tried using a bunch of spans with different padding etc, also made display to table-cell type, but have not been able to get it.

here is a sample of where i am stuck:
<sorry, no personal URLs>

any ideas on how to implement would be appreciated. thanks!

What's wrong with using tables?

Tables should be used for tabular data, which is what you have :)

thanks for the response, drdoc. just thought DIVs load faster than tables..isnt this true? especially for mozilla based browsers?

also, since my design is otherwise only DIV design, i thought it may be nice to use DIVS only for this simple tabular data too?

would appreciate your thoughts.

I'm with Doc on this one. Tables aren't taboo, they have an important place -- and that's to display tabular data.

Well, the control panel [webmasterworld.com] calendar is table based. I think there will be more code required for a div based calendar than a table based one. Also, you can always style the table with CSS. As far as rendering goes... I think it's a toss-up for something like a calendar.

thanks a bunch guys, guess i'll stick with table for now. makes sense. perhaps i've been reading too much of "move to css and divs" :)

what a forum this is! less than 15 mins and i solved my problem -- and been reading other threads! bookmarked, twice! :)
