I never knew, that even a simple list menu will have rendering problems across various browsers, until i encountered this problem for myself, when i was authoring a list menu. Googled and got some interesting answers.

A very useful chart indeed:

Table to DIV

Usually work on designing new sites (:-Am a front end designer :D),but recently my design life is slowly transforming to pursue and deliver stuff, which has to carry individual identity, unique and someone should say; "yea, that's a good stuff".

Been using table layout for a very longtime in my designs, and got sufficient knowledge in html to tinker a maximum level to get what i want!, over a period of time, my friends predicted and put a mark on me, "Yay, box designer". Arg, that really hurts.

Actually getting hurt is a very good thing for any mortal, as it always open the next door: Learning.

Lesson no:1


"I Swear, hereafter, i should avoid table design."

Lesson no:2


"Spend some time on learning, how to efficiently use DIV tags.

Lesson no:3
