Tables should not be used for page layout. Not if you want to design websites that meet current standards.

It'll probably take you several evenings to figure out CSS layout. When you get the hang of it you'll get a sense of achievement and, more than that, a valuable and very flexible skill.

If you're a newbie you need to do some reading. I learnt by reading Jeffrey Zeldman's book "Designing With Web Standards" (link's below).

There's a website called Blue Robot that can help you learn how to create simple CSS two-or-three column layouts.

Not sure what you mean about DIV tags not working well with tables. DIV tags are commonly used to divide your page into sections (e.g. header, main content, menu, columns, footer). TABLE tags are only supposed to be used for data that needs to be shown in rows and columns (like a catalogue, calendar, pricelist etc).

If you have a URL I could look at I could help with the coding.

It depends upon:
a) project specifications
b) time allowed to get the website up
c) complexity of the web pages/site

Most of the time, I use CSS.
If the the project depends upon an older browser (say IE 4.0, or NS 4.0), I would most likely use borderless HTML tables for positioning.
If one could anticipate a web browser that is not 10+ years old, then I would go with CSS.

If you want the web page(s) displayed able to be easily copy/pasted into an Excel spreadsheet, then use an HTML table.

Tables layout is by far easier, but it is not acceptable if you try to stick to a more modern theory of web design. Tables are intended to display information, not restrict the layout of your site. But if it works for you, it is difficult to argue against it.

1) Stay at there house w/ them for two weeks while your family is on vacation or be best friends with them for the rest of your life Be best friends with them for the rest of my life. Then I could go to their house whenever I wanted (as long as they're there). 2) Have front row seats to all of their concerts or meet them once backstage for 30 mins Meet them once backstage for 30 minutes, during which I'll manage to convince them to give me front row seats to all of their concerts. 3) Be Nick's girlfriend or be Joe's Best Best Best Friend Be Nick's girlfriend. Who Said this? 1) Growing up, we didn't really play pranks on each other, but we put Gak in one of my dad's dress shoes. He was going to work, and it was all [makes squishing noises]. We were never allowed to have Gak, Floam of any of that stuff in the house ever again. Kevin. 2) For me, I’d have to say “Still in Love With You” is one of my favorite songs and also “Hold On.” So I have a couple of favorites. Nick (I think). 3) (About myspace) We read all your comments. We look at all of them. They're like, "Oh, my God! Nick, you're so hot!" Joe said this one. OMJ, these are hard! I guessed on the first 2, but I'm probably wrong.
