Tabular data without <tables> <td> tags

[vinpkl]

hi all

i m working on displaying a shopping cart details in tableless format.

But the left border of the items “price” and “quantity” doesnt equal to the height of “item name”.

Put tabular data in a table. That’s what it’s for.

To do otherwise is poor coding, as you lose all meaningful associations of that data. These are not paragraphs.

Yes, tables aren’t bad as such. They just have their place. If you have data in rows and columns, that’s where you need a table, as it relates those rows and columns together meaningfully.
