I'm using SlickGrid[1] in an internal tool. It uses divs and spans to display data, so there are certainly nice examples that do so. 1. https://github.com/mlei

- glesica 13y agoBut why would you want that? The whole point of moving from <table> to <div> for layout was that using <table> wasn't semantic and was the wrong tool for the job. But <table> is the right tool for displaying tabular data. That's its entire purpose for existing. Using <div> to display tabular data is a regression. Edit: typo
- chucklarge 13y agoI don't disagree, just pointing out that there are ways to achieve a tabular layout without an html table. Tables are for data right? On the other hand, I like the idea of less and more generic constructs that can be adapted to achieve some need. Specialized tags like dd, address, details, summary, code, blockquote, etc just seem superfluous.
