    I want to have a table for my signature, with multiple columns and rows. I want a simple table code that actually works for signatures on this site. Although, along with the code, I would appreciate a little rundown of how to customize said table. Also, will someone please provide the data, instead of a link to it? It would be greatly, greatly appreciated. Thank you for any help.

    -.-' Seriously...? I asked that I was not linked to other pages... Anyways, I do not know where to find EXACTLY what I'm looking for there anyways. Can someone please bring a code?
     
    -_- . . . I was only looking for a simple code, and I cannot get that without moving to another thread entirely? This is the Questions section, so I don't see why it can't be answered. A simple code for a table. I honestly didn't think it would be this hard.
     
    There's no need to be mad because you didn't get an answer you expected but Team Fail is right. This does seem to be a question more related for the CSS Help thread, so it would be in your best interest to ask there. As far as I know though, there isn't a specific code for making a table, but with CSS you should be able to manage something. :)
     
    I'm not getting mad, I am getting slightly annoyed though. It seems, well, "half-assed" to answer a question with a link and not an actual answer.
     
    Yeah, we don't have any specific code for making a table (which, by the way, is poor web page structuring anyway). Closest thing I've seen to a traditional table is this: https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/255029 , but my code for that is prone to breaking easily. Your best bet is to use a combination of css-divs and the twocolumn BBCode tag.

    No one is truly obligated to repost something that's already been explained word-for-word when linking to the other thread would suffice, by the way.
     
    Well, the thing is, I just want a code. One that is simplified and can be explained. The linked table is too complicated for me to try and figure out, and I think it was too long for the signature. Any other possible theories?
     
    As I also mentioned, it has been a long time since I've had to use code. So some ASSISTANCE would be greatly appreciated.

    Divs inside divs is the key. Below is the basic idea, but I've not got the energy or the will to decipher my own code for that table to figure out exactly what I did to get it all on one row. That's where looking for certain properties in the CSS thread (which has an IMMENSELY COMPLETE list of all the properties that work here) to fill in what I don't remember to make the table look decent and be on one row.

    [div="width:700px;"][div="100px;"]data[/div][div="150px;"]data[/div][div="300px;"]data[/div][div="150px;"]data[/div][/div]

    The above in action (again, I DO NOT remember how I got it all on one row and am not in a mood to figure out how I did it):

    data
    data
    data
    data


    Note how each div creates a new line after it normally. I cannot figure out my own "wizardry" from several months back for that table.

    If you are moderately skilled in CSS, you should be able to decipher my CSS, even if it takes a while. It took me a good long time to do that table before. I myself am only moderately skilled in HTML and CSS.

    It may look like a big gooey mess for the table at the bottom, but it's really just a bunch of divs that I can't figure out how I got on one row for each table row. If you look at the actual properties for the divs, it's just a bunch of float:right, float:left, height:, width:, and border tags. I'm not exactly sure how I did that so I can't explain.
