3 columns in a table - 3 cells or two tables - 9/11/2003 17:28:14
A very basic question but one I never really thought about before. Any opinions about which is better for a three column table?
1- one table with three cells
OR
2- one table with two cells, with the right cell containing a nested table with two cells.
The three will be used as follows:
- Left sidebar for links
- Main content (the largest area)
- Right sidebar (to be about the same size as the left sidebar).
The right and left sidebars will contain 1-3 stacked tables.
thanks, gail

First, thank you!
Your point raises another question. How do you decide when to use a fixed width tables for a site OR design in percentages? Some pages, particularly the home page, will only have a little bit of content which generally looks pretty crummy resolutions over 800 X 600. The majority of pages will have a good deal of content which won't look as bad when stretched across a monitor.

It really depends on the look you want.
If you want everything to always stay in the same place use fixed.
