如何编写复杂的HTML表单？

Question

I have been given the task of coding the form below. I was planning to do it using tables, however my instructor told me to do it using divs , since it takes up more resources or something(I think he said it was intensive). I can do it using divs, but I think it is a waste of time because I could make the below form easily using tables(I mean quickly).

Any ideas as to how to proceed, what to use, tables or divs or some thing better ??

Answer 1

As long as the form looks the way it should and validates valid HTML 4 or xhtml breeds, you're good to go unless your instructor def wants you to use divs and css to create the layout. I would recommend the latter if you really want to get proficient in modern practices using css based layouts. Good luck!

Answer 2

They are not mutually exclusive. You could use divs for the main panels and tables within the divs to layout controls and text.
