Rendering of WebPartZone

Question

How can I prevent a WebPartZone from wrapping with <table>? For web accessibility we don't want WebParts to be wrapped in tables.

Answer 1

To get rid of the HTML you can add a control adapter to your web part zone control.

Here is a link to a blog post where this is done.

Answer 2

Unfortunately my experience is that WebPartZone always renders those tables. If you want to conform to accessibility standards, you will have to ditch web part zones.
