[l56] 64Mobile

Posted by leemcd56 on Feb. 21, 2012, 8:22 p.m.

If you have a mobile device and like checking up on 64Digits while you're AFK but get bombarded with the full site, now you can visit the "Beta" version of the mobile site (http://www.64digits.com/mobile). It's not fully functional and can pull blogs, users, and a basic profile but positive things about it: It can be themed (If you would like to create themes for it, PM me.)

P.S. I did this because I was irritated with waiting for the full site to load for 10 minutes over mobile just to comment or post a blog when I'm not home.

To create a theme, download this.

Tables are better than using DIV IMHO

Sometimes I use tables and sometimes I use DIVs. I found my happy medium with them.

*Flips a table*

Properly structured DIVs are easier to modify.

People who use tables like that aren't webdesigners as it shows how few experience they have with structured webdesign, and so how to keep pages as flexible as possible . <table><tr><td><div>…</div></td></tr></table> makes no sense whatsoever.

Whatever. I take shit at my own pace and I'll learn to use DIVs when I want to. Say what you want about my design process but it's how I do things and I'll change it whenever I want to. Besides, "People who use tables like that aren't webdesigners as it shows how few experience they have with structured webdesign" can be said for the person who structured this site, not because they didn't use tables but didn't properly structure and balance content for cross-browser compatibility (As shown in IE).

I can't agree more :D

Note that using tables for your own personal projects is perfectly fine, but when more developers get involved it might make things more difficult to maintain.

I see what you mean. Though nesting can help make code easier to read, it can make editing difficult with tables and I know from experience. lol The web sites I make are technically "personal" because I'm the sole editor each site. Don't get me wrong though, even days ago before I uploaded my version of 64Digits Mobile I was considering replacing the tables with DIVs and padding them out but when it comes to things like having a two column header for title, then one column for avatar and another for content with a two column segment below, that's easier in tables than in DIVs and while DIVs have CSS structure to change that, it's not fully cross-browser compatible and would look messy on a Windows Mobile phone. So, tables can be the lesser of two evils. Take the "Recent Activity" sidebar – that can be a DIV wrapper with an inner table instead of nested DIVs using "table-cell"/"table-column" and would look much better in IE.
