aligning data in large tables

Sent by Rolf Mortenson on 8 March 2007 22:10


What is the optimal way to align data in a very large table? - let's  
say you've got a few thousand rows, and 10 columns, and you want data  
in 3 of those columns to be aligned right (the rest align left). Is  
it preferable to give each td in those columns a class -- <td  
class="right">? or is it better to use the old <td align="right">?  
Neither seems like the ideal... but I don't get the impression that  
col and colgroup have much effectiveness here either. Is there an IE- 
compatible way to target the 5th cell in a row? Is this a case for a  
javascript solution over css?

thanks, as always
Rolf
