I'm a php/mysql guy, and have been trying to brush up on my frontend skills. So this weekend I made a four function calculator in javascript.

But when I started to work on the presentation, I found myself adding extraneous markup just to achieve what a table tag naturally does.

Just so we're on the same page, this is the intended layout:

789+
456-
123x
c0=/

It it possible to generate this grid using neither a table, nor extraneous markup?

Thank you.

As a general rule, programming questions are off-topic on this site. Use Stack Overflow instead. I would have migrated this question, but it looks like it already has been discussed several times there. – Christofian Oct 7 '12 at 22:57
Thanks. I have looked at blueprint and 960. If css frameworks are the best alternative to tables, then the answer to my original question is: "No, there is no alternative to tables that doesn't require extraneous markup." – max Oct 8 '12 at 1:36
