looking for a css table extension

Post by terryfoster60 »

I have been advised not to use the table option which I have done for years...
I think it was depreciated long ago actually.

I was wondering why there isnt an extension to create css tables by now.
It would be a lot easier than writing loads of divs and css style codes.
Is it something I could suggest to those bright extension developers?

Sorry there is no extension for this. Why well to be honest tables are not the way to design web pages anymore maybe in the 90's. There use for the layout of pages died just like the dinosaurs.

The modern way and most efficient way is to either use Layout Grids or Flexgrid or FlexBox. Also there is no need to write lines of code for divs and css styles if a object requires this then it is written for you by the software. Just look at the source (html) of https://www.wysiwygwebbuilder.com/ using layout grids for its layout, divs and css styling (external) all written by the software and not a table in sight used.

You can try asking for this as a extension but why try to reinvent the wheel when there are options as mentioned to do so and still living.

HTML tables still work and they do use CSS.
However, they are not responsive, meaning they have the same structure in breakpoints.

There are several table extensions available for displaying data:
https://www.wysiwygwebbuilder.com/bootstraptable.html
https://www.wysiwygwebbuilder.com/datatables.html
https://www.wysiwygwebbuilder.com/dataviewer.html
https://www.wysiwygwebbuilder.com/respo ... table.html

There have not been any other requests for other types, so that is why it does not exist.
