Use HTML tables for tabular data

Steven McCoy

Why does the [controls library][1] not show Eikon styling for tables? Using `div` elements for tabular data is asinine unless you are looking for hacks on special functionality like sorting columns or [viewport based lazy loading][2] when rendering the entire table is too slow, but these are avoidable with special care and attention. ![alt text][3] [1]:

Hi Steven

We're working on improvements to the Eikon Web UI. In certain cases the div solution is valid, though I agree that table is the best way of presenting tabular data when it comes to less complex solutions. Like I've said we will be changing/updating/extending the examples so an example with tables is also available.

For latest changes and updates to Eikon Web UI please join our hub group: https://thehub.thomsonreuters.com/groups/eikon-web-sdk

Cheers
