Is it a major design event to request that a choice be given to display SQL results with nested DIV and SPAN tags instead of classic HTML TABLE/TH/TR/TD ?
Reason is to move towards HTML5 standards (and allow for CSS3 behaviors).
The alternative seems to be a considerable amount of content hacking to get around the limitations.
Example:
<div id='some_table'> <div id='headers'> <span id='heading_1'>Heading 1</span> <span id='heading_2'>Heading 2</span> </div ..for 'headers'> <div id='rows'> <div id='a_row'> <span id='row_value_1'>Heading 1 row 1 content</span> <span id='row_value_2'>Heading 2 row 1 content</span> </div ..for a_row> <div id='a_row'> <span id='row_value_1'>Heading 1 row 1 content</span> <span id='row_value_2'>Heading 2 row 1 content</span> </div ..for a_row> <div id='a_row'> <span id='row_value_1'>Heading 1 row 2 content</span> <span id='row_value_2'>Heading 2 row 2 content</span> </div ..for a_row> </div ..for rows> </div ..for some_table>
INSTEAD OF:
<table id=<generated> class='confluenceTable> <TH class='confluenceTh'>Heading 1</th> <TH class='confluenceTh'>Heading 2</th> <TR style> <TD class=confluenceTd>Heading 1 row 1 content</TD> <TD class=confluenceTd>Heading 2 row 1 content</TD> </TR> <TR style> <TD class=confluenceTd>Heading 1 row 2 content</TD> <TD class=confluenceTd>Heading 2 row 2 content</TD> </TR> </table>
