Alistair: That’s a great question. You know that you’ve have learned a lot when you start asking that kind of questions.

I tend to think of tables as things you would put in an Excel sheet. As a general distinction that works fine. Another thing to look at is if it would make sense to put headers on the table. If it does you probably have a proper data table. I hope that makes sense.

Beautiful site! Great layout! Well-written info. Makes me jealous…
re: tabular data in tables. When does “laying out data clearly” become “layout table”?
Eg. one student had a list of pdfs on his page: name/file type/size. That is surely tabular data.
Another had a price list: name/price/picture.
Another had a list of items for sale: name & info/picture.

Is there a point when you can definitely say “sorry, that’s just layout?” Or is it opinion?

Superb. Clear, concise and easily understood. I have been looking for a straight forward CSS tutorial for a few weeks now.

Thanks
