How to Convert HTML Tables

Tables were an old method of designing website graphics and layouts. Tables are old technology that makes it hard to format a website. CSS div tags have replaced tables as a standard for website design. Converting tables to CSS div tags creates a cleaner, easier design for web developers and programmers.

Instructions

    Replace the "

    " tag. This tag indicates a table row. There are no attributes on the original table row, so a simple tag with no properties is used.

    " in the table element. In the original table, the first column is 60% of the table's width and the second column is 40% of the table width. The following shows you how to create columns that are the same width as the original table.
