I was just working on this table, that scrolls inside a div and contains a bunch of images. I was having problems getting the photos aligned the way I wanted and I got to thinking...
...If you were to write your own "Table" object that consisted of an array of divs, each div stacked side by side, vertically and/or horizontally to make up the "Table" (each cell would be a div), well... would it make sense? What would the tradeoff's be as far as ease of manipulation (tables are weird sometimes and are not 100% browser compatible), and as far as browser performance? Is a div that has 1000 divs in it going to be less efficient than a table with 1000 single-column rows? I end up cramming stuff in the cell's innerHTML or setting a bunch of it's attributes, so would it be less efficient if that was just a <div> instead of a <td>? Feels like I would have more control over behavior and appearence.
Can someone save me some time and convince me that this is a dumb idea? Have I had too much vino tonight?
