HTML dl, dt, dd tags to create a table vs. Table creation table

If you are still using traditional tables to create data lists, please read on to see how using HTML's dl, dt, and dd tags can make your work easier...

table data list

The data list code of the traditional table is as follows. We need to add a tr tag for each row, and then add a td tag for the title and data. Since the tags are all td, if we want to add styles, we also need to add a class attribute to each td.

dl, dt, dd data list

Now let's look at data lists using the HTML dl, dt, and dd tags. First we use the dl (definition list) tag to hold the entire data structure, and then we use the dt (custom title) tag and dd (custom description) tag to hold the title and content in the data.

Seeing this, if you still insist on using table tags to complete web forms or other web page layouts, now is the time to change your code. Make your work easier!
