[thelist] PHP & Accessibility

[Ralph Guzman]

Andre,

Where did you read that tables are obsolete? Actually using tables is
the only method that will ensure you accessibility through multiple
platforms and browser versions. Tables are the best approach for
displaying results from any database. 

Your other alternative is to use stylesheets, but stylesheets are only
supported by newer browsers and the standard is still not consistent
across multiple platforms.

Subject: [thelist] PHP & Accessibility

I'm looking into accessibility, but I'm just wondering how well it can
merge
with PHP.

Why do I ask, well I'm still a very naive with accessibility, but from
what
I've read so far it looks like tables (my main source of web building)
are a
no no? I'm sure you can tell me more on this.

Thing is that I want to make sites that are viewable by all, but if
tables
are out? what options are open for rendering dynamically displaying
information (from MySQL), and I mainly use tables for that, I'd hate to
think that I've invested a lot of time learning PHP and I'd hate to
think it
was all for nothing.

I'd really appreciate any pointers in the right direction, so I can
learn
more, get my facts straight and get things right etc.

Apologies if this sounds really dumb.

Andre.
