Neither. You should use CSS to layout your page.
The form element is a container for form fields, and usually it's not used for layout at all.
Using tables for layout once was the only way to do any layout at all, but that was about fifteen years ago, and the technology has moved on since then.
Despite everything, the person most likely to be fooling you next is yourself.

Usually this question is asked to choose between Html Tables and Html DIVs ... most developers would choose tables ... they are easier and with more options ... but I prefer to use DIVs also its harder ... I think it makes the page more neat and simpler ...

Well, it's rather that tables are easer becase they are so limited. With a table you can only make a table, it's only rows and cells and nothing else. With flowing elements, floating elements and layers you have a lot more ways to combine them and make them interact.
Despite everything, the person most likely to be fooling you next is yourself.

Hi All!
After posting in the wrong forum without really thinking  I have decided to close off the issue back there and ask here instead - has anybody noticed a really annoying icon in designmode when there's an ActiveX OpenFileDialog in a page in Internet Explorer? For instance, try inserting this code into a page in IE while it's in designmode:
<OBJECT ID="OpenFileDialog1" STYLE="DISPLAY: none" CODEBASE=
"http://activex.microsoft.com/controls/vb5/comdlg32.cab"
HEIGHT="0px" WIDTH="0px" CLASSID=
"CLSID:F9043C85-F6F2-101A-A3C9-08002B2F49FB">
<PARAM NAME="_ExtentX" VALUE="847">
<PARAM NAME="_ExtentY" VALUE="847">
<PARAM NAME="_Version" VALUE="393216">
<PARAM NAME="CancelError" VALUE="0">
<PARAM NAME="Color" VALUE="0">
<PARAM NAME="Copies" VALUE="1">
<PARAM NAME="DefaultExt" VALUE="">
<PARAM NAME="DialogTitle" VALUE="">
<PARAM NAME="FileName" VALUE="">
<PARAM NAME="Filter" VALUE="">
<PARAM NAME="FilterIndex" VALUE="0">
<PARAM NAME="Flags" VALUE="0">
<PARAM NAME="FontBold" VALUE="0">
<PARAM NAME="FontItalic" VALUE="0">
<PARAM NAME="FontName" VALUE="">
<PARAM NAME="FontSize" VALUE="8">
<PARAM NAME="FontStrikeThru" VALUE="0">
<PARAM NAME="FontUnderLine" VALUE="0">
<PARAM NAME="FromPage" VALUE="0">
<PARAM NAME="HelpCommand" VALUE="0">
<PARAM NAME="HelpContext" VALUE="0">
<PARAM NAME="HelpFile" VALUE="">
<PARAM NAME="HelpKey" VALUE="">
<PARAM NAME="InitDir" VALUE="">
<PARAM NAME="Max" VALUE="0">
<PARAM NAME="Min" VALUE="0">
<PARAM NAME="MaxFileSize" VALUE="260">
<PARAM NAME="PrinterDefault" VALUE="1">
<PARAM NAME="ToPage" VALUE="0">
<PARAM NAME="Orientation" VALUE="1">
</OBJECT>
Do you get a little grey icon, kind of like a button, pop up out of nowhere and mess up your layout? I have looked everywhere for info on this, but it's just sitting there with no apparent explanation for it. In fact I've even put up a sample download on my site that I'm sure reproduces the problem. Just unzip it, open the page in IE, click 'Activate DesignMode' then 'Add ActiveX Control'.
Thanks!

Hi,
Does any one know what the following means:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Maecenas sit amet metus. Nunc quam elit, posuere nec, auctor in, rhoncus quis, dui. Aliquam erat volutpat. Ut dignissim, massa sit amet dignissim cursus, quam lacus feugiat.
They always use it in web developemnt.
Thanks
Brendan

Hi Brendan,
"Lorem Ipsum" is simply dummy text that has been developed into a "standard" of sorts used by web developers to give an example where content would go on the page, it has no real meaning other than being dummy text.
Hope that answers your question,
Derek

Hello, I'm having some trouble getting the body of my index page to align correctly with my top_inc.php file that is included in the index page through <? require "top_inc.php" ?> in the body of the page. You can see the problem if you go to http://development.hewittmediasolutions.com/ . I've tried everything I can think of to get this to work right, but nothing seems to work.
thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I already responded (though i was a lil off the subject that time  ) to your question when u first started your 1st thread ... your "problem" is because you have one table that holds the entire body together with the header ... The quickest fix would be adding colspan="2" to this
<td align="center" colspan="2">
<img width="1024" height="159" border="0" src="images/header_banner.gif" />
</td>
and a rowspan="5" to this:
<tr>
<td><img width="182" height="123" border="0" src="images/babiesrus.gif"/>
</td><td valign="top" align="left" rowspan="5">[your content is here ... content, content, content, content, content, content, content, content, content, content, content, content, content, content]</td></tr>
<tr><td width="182"><img width="182" height="122" src="images/left_2.gif"/>
</td></tr>

Thanks for the response,
I made the changes and put it all into the index.php file, but I was hoping to have the side bar along with the top navigation banner to be in the top_inc.php and have that included into the index through a <? require "top_inc.php" ?>, whereas the index.php file just has the content on it. I have tried different variations hoping I could still get the content to show up along side like if I have it all on one file, if that makes any sense.

  I have a life insurance website and business and i have gotten so many crap leads becuase we cant seem to get the proper validation. I need to know how we can validate emails, phone numbers, zip codes, city state, even names that dont look like they are real ex: rrrr dlahoh hdfoagif. also the emails like jjhj@rr.dd.com or john@john.com and phone number like 000-000-000, 001-1234-445, its really killing me and my money is a wastin away. Can some one please help!!!!! i have spent so much money and so much time and i have nothing to show for it. I will do anything to get this validation strong and active asap.
I also would like to know how we could dynamically populate the city and state fields with only using the zip code so we could hide the city and state input boxes.
url. www.termsafe.com If you can help i can possibly give you access to the site and or my developer and see what you can do.
If you can help me please email me at mfurman@termsafe.com subject: You owe me

1) for emails you could check the mx records for a given email ... tell your developer to look @ checkdnsrr php function
2) zip codes ... google for maxmind zip codes database (or owh ok ... http://http://www.maxmind.com/[^]... there might be other solutions also you just have to look.
3) phone numbers ... enhance your regex ... depending on the area on which your business is planed there should be some "standardization" regarding the number(for example a list of valid area codes etc.)
4) you might need to rethink your aproach ... but finally that's the developer's business.
5) names ... owh well in this sick world sum1 could call his son r2d2 if he's a fan of Starwars, or tok'ra/go'auld if he's a fan of Stargate or whatever else ... imho there isn't too much you can do without over complicating yourself and the server with all kind of regexes.
Code? Yeah i love it fried together with a glass of wine.

Hello:
Searching around the web, I stumbled upon the solution provided here for comparing html. But it's use is specific to Rainbow Portal html text compare which requires a Windows intallation and ASP. I'm a linux user and was wondering if there was a similar solution that was ported over to a linux app?
I pretty have similar reqs. as the Rainbow Portal Solution:
- Compare 2 websites from 2 servers. Compare text. Compare html.
- Free?
- Show what is different between the pages
- Could spider the site and go to each link to compare. OPTION: import a list of links to compare.
- Handle dynamic div id's, classes, names, styles.
- be able to recognize dates and times on pages that are different and ignore or possibly search and remove before comparing pages.
Thanks in advance!

Hi to All !
I have two applications (web projects) in old good ASP 3.0.
One of these applications has the strange problem with window.open, when the URL is asp page.
The window opens blank and busy (hourglass cursor).
The same URL pasted to explorer address bar brings the right result.
No such problem with html pages.
No such problem with the second project.
The server is Windows 2003
.NET 1.1 and .NET 2.0
All extension on the IIS are enabled (including asp,.NET, Server Includes)
For both projects defined the same version of .NET on ASP.NET tab (although I cannot imagine,
how it may affect the ASP application).
Every project is defined as a website with application(IIS definition).
All definitions are identical.
Both sites use the same Application pool and seat on the same IP with different headers.
Popup blocker on the client side is disabled
I've tried to use the following instead of window.open:
var winHndl = window.open("","TestWindow");<br />
winHndl.document.location = "test.asp";
I've tried also to use try-catch block, relative and absolute path,... Nop. No error, no results.
Can somebody plz shed a light on this mystery ?
What I need else to do/check ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Gennady

wonder why u dun just use window.open("full_path_url","name of the window");
Code? Yeah i love it fried together with a glass of wine.

Where you get this idea that I didn't use window.open ? That was the first try.
Simply in the question I tried to give the full picture of my "experiments and research".
And additional question especially to you: did you read my message up to the end? 
|
|
|
|
|
var winHndl = window.open("","TestWindow");
winHndl.document.location = "test.asp";
window.open("full_path_url","name of the window");
i was asking why u dun use the "direct" way without having 2 declarations for one thing ... but whatever
Code? Yeah i love it fried together with a glass of wine.

Sorry, you may beat me, but I cannot understand what one thing and two declarations you're talking about.
May be, it's because of my English, that is permanently under construction.
Thanks anyway.

I'd like to add the results of two additional tests:
1. Use the pure html page with .asp extension
2. The same page is loaded not in popup window, but instead of current page:
<br />
document.location = "test.asp";<br />
In both cases the result is the same - blank window with busy cursor.
Regards,
Gennady
My English is permanently under construction. Be patient !!
