How to achieve cellpadding with divs or likeiwse?
Question by Nick Rosencrantz
I want a layout almost exactly like the table layout but I understand I should use divs instead to achieve this layout with spacing between elements:
My code that does the above is
<div class="fl20">Personen är sökande i:</div>
<div class="fl450">
<table border="0" cellpadding="10"><tr><td>
<input type="radio" name="<%= PandoraFieldConstants.FIELD_SOKANDE_I %>" value="alla">Alla länder
</td><td>
<input type="radio" name="<%= PandoraFieldConstants.FIELD_SOKANDE_I %>" value="alla_utom_usa">Alla utom USA
</td><td>
<input type="radio" name="<%= PandoraFieldConstants.FIELD_SOKANDE_I %>" value="endast_usa">Endast USA
</td><td>
<input type="radio" name="<%= PandoraFieldConstants.FIELD_SOKANDE_I %>" value="land"><input type="text" size="12" value="<%= editPerson.getReferens() %>" name="<%= PandoraFieldConstants.FIELD_REFERENS %>">
</td></tr>
</table>
</div>
Now the label row and the fields row don’t align the same so I want to remove the table and use divs instead for a better solution but when I use divs instead the fields display each on a new row. How should I do it? My CSS is
* {font-family:arial;}

CSS
.fl20{float:left; padding:5px; margin:5px; width:120px;}
.fl450{float:left; padding:5px; margin:5px; width:450px;}
HTML
<div class="fl20">Personen är sökande i:</div>
<div class="fl450">
<input type="radio" name="<%= PandoraFieldConstants.FIELD_SOKANDE_I %>" value="alla">Alla länder
</div>
<div class="fl450">
<input type="radio" name="<%= PandoraFieldConstants.FIELD_SOKANDE_I %>" value="alla_utom_usa">Alla utom USA

</div>
Answer by Starx
I dont see why you need to use divs for something that would be more manageable in used with tables.
<table border="0" cellpadding="10"><tr><td>
Personen är sökande i:
</td><td>
<input type="radio" name="<%= PandoraFieldConstants.FIELD_SOKANDE_I %>" value="alla">Alla länder
</td><td>
<input type="radio" name="<%= PandoraFieldConstants.FIELD_SOKANDE_I %>" value="alla_utom_usa">Alla utom USA
</td><td>
<input type="radio" name="<%= PandoraFieldConstants.FIELD_SOKANDE_I %>" value="endast_usa">Endast USA
</td><td>
<input type="radio" name="<%= PandoraFieldConstants.FIELD_SOKANDE_I %>" value="land"><input type="text" size="12" value="<%= editPerson.getReferens() %>" name="<%= PandoraFieldConstants.FIELD_REFERENS %>">
</td></tr>
</table>
Update: On that case still div, is not needed. See this demo using <ul>
and <li>
