Hey guys!
Just wondering would a schedule, say for like a soccer team, be considered tabular data? I know how much people around here, and other places, totally hate seeing tables being over used, so I was just making sure.
I received the data in a table and it seems like it would be ok to have it as a table, what do you think?

If it's actually in calendar format then a <table> is appropriate.

On the other hand, if it was just a listing of events you could use <ul>.

Well, it looks like this (http://www.csysa.org/schstand/S_05/110_5_16.html) , except that it is scaled down to only our games, ( about 11 rows and 6 columns ).

Sure looks tabular to me - cross referencing types and data, what better to use than a table ;)

Ditto w/ Gary. Tables should work best if not only for the ease of updating it.

I used Alistaparts' Zebra Tables (http://www.alistapart.com/articles/zebratables/) to make a layout similar to this and I was very pleased with the outcome.

It's not so much the overuse of tables that tees web designers off as much as using tables for layout. If the data seems like a table, then what better way to mark it up? :)

Yea, sorry that's what I meant :o

Sounds good!
