Tables are uncool. Doubly so with Ajax.

Several of the Ajax components I have tried will do bizarre things when they have table elements in their content. In general, if I keep an Ajax thing completely inside a TD, then it works, but this is leading to some odd looking pages. You get a nice looking table of things and you click an "add" button and one of the cells gets a multi-element form inside it, with all sorts of strange stretching of the table ensuing. > > So, maybe tables are just to un-cool and too "last millennium" to work with Ajax elements? > > My co-worker says not to use tables and one can use DIVs instead.

I am going to use an Ajax widget from a 3rd-party company. I am sure that I can make it work in my app. But I am also sure that it will be ugly. But I do not think I grok the Wonder Ajax components well enough to do "the right thing".
