I know the tags for ordered, unordered and definition lists, but that’s not my question.
I have a database that contains people’s names and information about them. I want to create a display that will show that information in columnar form. I’m trying to figure out what HTML and CSS is needed to create the display pages. I know that I’ll need backend code to read the database and present the information, including sorting the lines of information once assembled. I’ll probably have questions about that, too; but for now, I just need to know how to create the form to be displayed.
My first thought was to create and style a table, but I don’t think that’s the best approach. I’m probably wrong, but I don’t know how else to approach the matter of presenting information in tabular form for users to peruse.
I’ve looked for examples in textbooks and tutorials but have found nothing that answers my questions. I’ve sought but haven’t yet found examples in web pages that I can borrow from using DevTools.
If anyone could shove me in the right direction, I’d be grateful.
