    <p>How do you mimic table behavior with CSS and Divs? Is it possible to mimic the table behavior below:</p> <ol> <li>Two rows with horizontal overflow and one horizontal overflow scrollbar</li> <li>No spacing between cells</li> </ol> <p>To see an example, <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/srakestraw/BcQbk/3/" rel="nofollow">http://jsfiddle.net/srakestraw/BcQbk/3/</a>. Here is the table code:</p> <pre><code>&lt;div style="width:500px; overflow:auto;"&gt; &lt;table width="1000px" cellspacing="0"&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;Row 1 - Cell 1&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;Row 1 - Cell 2&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;Row 1 - Cell 3&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;Row 1 - Cell 4&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;Row 1 - Cell 5&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;Row 1 - Cell 6&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;Row 2 - Cell 1&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;Row 2 - Cell 2&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;Row 2 - Cell 3&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;Row 2 - Cell 4&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;Row 2 - Cell 5&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;Row 2 - Cell 6&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>Style Sheet:</p> <pre><code> &lt;style&gt; td { width: 200px; border: 1px solid #ccc; } &lt;/style&gt; </code></pre> <p>I am close with the following code but cannot eliminate the spacing between cells or control the horizontal scroll for multiple rows.</p> <pre><code>&lt;style&gt; .slideContainer{ white-space: nowrap; overflow:auto; } .slide{ display: inline-block; width: 100px; white-space: normal; border: 1px solid #ccc; vertical-align:top; border: 1px solid #ccc; } &lt;/style&gt; &lt;div style="width:500px;"&gt; &lt;div class="slideContainer"&gt; &lt;div class="slide"&gt;Cell 1&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="slide"&gt;Cell 2&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="slide"&gt;Cell 3&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="slide"&gt;Cell 4&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="slide"&gt;Cell 5&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="slide"&gt;Cell 6&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>The end product will be more complicated with merged cells and I am leaning toward just using a table. My preference is to use divs to make it easier to implement front-end layout manipulation. </p> <p>It is not a true data table but is similar. I posted a mock-up at <a href="http://www.volunteeryourself.com/sch.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.volunteeryourself.com/sch.htm</a>. </p>

    1. COAre you importing tabular data? Tables aren't the devil but if used for layout-only purposes they are... You are obliged to used tables for tabular type data

    2. COMay I ask what content will be going in here? Tables are bad for layout, but if you are trying to represent data then a table may actually be the correct element (both semantically, and stylistically) to use.

Querying!

 
Guidance
A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
