Grid replaced table

0 comments

Tables are still in the HTML spec. Not really practical to represent tabular data with grid layout.

But also not practical to do page layouts with tables.

It’s how we did it it in the 90’s, also I think it still worked better than the alternatives until we got grid and flexbox.
