Div instead of table

HTML & CSS
1

I have code1 at http://form.kr/test/removeTable.php
The code1 has table which I like to remove.

I made the code2 below the code1 for removing table at the page.

However, I failed to make it the same result with the code1
how can I make the code2 the same result in displaying with the code1?

Why, do you want to do that ? :wonky:

If you need to display tabular data, then the
table element is the correct choice. :winky:

Thank you, coothead for your code.

I copied your code and made a page at http://form.kr/test/test2.php

However, the page is all white.
What’s wrong with the page?

You have commented the style sheet out incorrectly with an invalid closing comment.
All the code that follows is being ignored.

You have closed it with -]


<!--<link rel="stylesheet" href="screen.css" media="screen">-]

It should be closed with -->
