I was advised not to use tables for layout, because the table structure doesn't make sense the way I've used it.
Can I create this same layout structure with something like CSS Grid or other? With label to the left and manual entry data to the right?
<table >
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><strong>Ground Floor</strong></td>
<td>Living Room; Kitchen</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong>First Floor</strong></td>
<td>Bedroom 1; Bedroom 2; Bathroom</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

divs
shouldn't be used for tabular data. That is just as wrong as using tables for layout.
Use a <table>
. Its easy, semantically correct, and you'll be done in 5 minutes.

To create a table using CSS Grid you will need an element (div) as a container, and inner elements (divs) with specified positions.
Container
To make a container, create a div and set its display
property to grid
, and set grid-template-columns
and grid-template-rows
for the size of a cell. The unit fr
specifies the track's flex factor (size).
Example:
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: 1fr 2fr;
grid-template-rows: repeat(2, 1fr);
Elements
You can use the shorthand property called grid-area
to set the position of the elements.
These are the values in grid-area
:
- grid-row-start
- grid-column-start
- grid-row-end
- grid-column-end
Example:
grid-area: 1 / 1 / 2 / 2;
For the styling elements you can use the CSS properties as usual.
Working example
.parent {
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: 1fr 2fr;
grid-template-rows: repeat(2, 1fr);
grid-column-gap: 0px;
grid-row-gap: 0px;
border: 1px solid #cccccc;
}
.div1 {
grid-area: 1 / 1 / 2 / 2;
padding: 10px;
}
.div2 {
grid-area: 1 / 2 / 2 / 3;
padding: 10px;
}
.div3 {
grid-area: 2 / 1 / 3 / 2;
padding: 10px;
background: #eeeeee;
}
.div4 {
grid-area: 2 / 2 / 3 / 3;
padding: 10px;
background: #eeeeee;
}
<div >
<div ><strong>Ground Floor</strong></div>
<div >Living Room; Kitchen</div>
<div ><strong>First Floor</strong></div>
<div >Bedroom 1; Bedroom 2; Bathroom</div>
</div>
Tip
You can simply use a CSS Grid generator.
