CSS Table?

How...?

[ahmedtheking]

How can i make a CSS layer minic a table? I found this [w3.org...] but it totally through me (as does most of w3's stuff!). Anyone have a clue?

[benihana]

are you using tabular data? if so just use a table....

[ahmedtheking]

All i want is a div layer to behave like a table:

I need to display two items parellel to each to each other (like a table, 1 row, 2 columns!)

[benihana]

ahh.

you could use an outer 'wrapper' div and then two internal divs with one floated right and widths set.

[ahmedtheking]

ohh, I shall have to try that! can one of the widths be defined (225px) and the other be auto?

[benihana]

yep you should be able to do that. its just a case of giving it a try.

remember, according to the spec's, anything floated should have an explicit width set. In my experience, it doesnt seem to make any difference, though others maybe able to tell you differently.

good luck!

Ok thanks! Ill tell you how it went!

[ahmedtheking]

well it kinda worked, but a float makes the layer 'float' and now all my relative heights have gone wrong! :( look at :
