Layout tables
The traditional method (and most reliable if you choose to support Version 4 browsers) is to align form content with tables, as shown in Figure 15-16. When laying out a form with a table, it usually works best to put the table element in the form element (rather than the other way around). Keep in mind that unstyled form controls will render at varying sizes depending on the user’s browser and preferences, so allow for a certain amount of flexibility. If you do use tables for layout
, make sure that they use minimal markup and linearize well. (See Chapter 13 for tips on layout tables
.)
