Tableless Table Data

ColdFusion

My good friend over at <cfsilence> posted a good point today and I felt I had to respond.  He states, Nothing Wrong With The Good Old Table Tag, and I agree with him.  For tabular data nothing works better than a good old fashion <table>.  However there are those who believe that anything with tables is bad and they should not be used.  I on the other hand believe they have there place, just not in site layout design.

A few months ago when I was going through my CSS awakening I was curious about the creating CSS tables and this is what my other good friend Dave Shuck helped me with.

<style>
    div.container{text-align:center;float:left;}
    div.outputDivStart{clear:both;float:left;padding:2px;border-bottom:1px solid #c9c9c9;}
    div.outputDiv{border-left:1px solid black;float:left;padding:2px;border-bottom:1px solid #c9c9c9;)
</style>

<div class="container">
    <cfoutput>
    <cfloop from=1 to=3 index="i">
        <div>
            <div class="outputDivStart">Column 1 row #i#</div>
            <div class="outputDiv">Column 2 row #i#</div>
            <div class="outputDiv">Column 3 row #i#</div>
            <div class="outputDiv">Column 4 row #i#</div>
            <div class="outputDiv">Column 5 row #i#</div>
            <div class="outputDiv">Column 6 row #i#</div>
            <div class="outputDiv">Column 7 row #i#</div>
        </div>
    </cfloop>
    </cfoutput>
</div>

Good Day!

PS Is it kinda weird that I've never really met these "good friends" in person?
