HTML tables should they be used in designing an internal web app using ASP.NET 2.0?

What is your opinion? What are my options?


I've been a windows Objects programmer for the past 6 years and am new to the internet UI stuff

HTML tables should they be used in designing an internal web app using ASP.NET 2.0?
Well, asp.net output gets converted to HTML when being displayed by the client so it doesn't matter what you use - you need to know how to design with CSS to avoid using tables.





We just did a tableless site at work for a client. The registration form that I did (in asp.net 2.0) can be seen in the link below.





The only difficult part was getting the output to render properly in both IE and Mozilla because the asp.net engine will render some tags differently based upon it's own browser detection (such as using a SPAN for mozilla but a DIV for IE).





If you're just starting out, I'd highly recommend using HTML tables until you get more experience with CSS and table-less design.
Reply:you can do it that way as above, you can also make a string varible and build some html with the string. then when your finished, set a labels text value to the string, the browser will just read the htmland present it as you want it
Reply:depends on what exactly you are trying to do. If you want to organize your page it is possible to use a table. Would help a little more if you could give more information on what your trying to do.





Have you looked at some of the features ASP.NET 2.0 provides. like maybe MasterPages?
