I want to know this because everyone is like "o, you use tables, well 1920 called they want their tables back." I have done both sites using tables and sites using divs and other than a little more work with tables I don't see the big difference, who can inlighten me?

Cheshire_cat,

1. Divs have options to be absolute and relative.
2. Divs have no rows and Columns
3. Divs can act as a panel which can group controls including a table.
4. Flexible.

Hope this helps

Why tables for layout is stupid: problems defined, solutions offered

Among the MANY benefits of CSS layouts is the ease of maintenance and re-designs. If I want to change the background color for an entire site, I make ONE change in ONE file - my CSS file. Lets see you do THAT with tables. I can change the header, menus, backgrounds, anything, site-wide, with just a few quick edits to my CSS file. If I want to change the font on my entire site, I make changes to ONE file - the CSS file. See where I"m going with this ???

A large site with tables for layout, especially if they are nested tables, is a maintenance nightmare, taking up LOTS of time - I know -- been there, done that -- NEVER going back !!!

The biggest difference between divs and tables? Tables are designed for organising tabular data and divs are for defining a section (division) in a document.
